OP here- the parts list calls for an .005 1000 volt mica. It currently has an .005 1000 volt electrolytic that is at least 40 years old. That needs to go.

I was just originally asking because I always have an issue with math and conversions. My apology for any confusion.

Value of capacitor
If this helps you sort it out just remember 10,000 mmfd or pf = .01 mfd. So 5,000mmfd = .005 mfd.Radioroslyn — 04:23 PM
