I am replacing the caps in a 40-180. On the volume control, there is what looks to be a paper cap with these writings: 8A 53289 .03M 300V Dumont P3 USA. I do not find this part in the Rider schematic and did not get a replacement as a part of a cap kit from Just Radio. Was it just a mistake in the schematic or is this an unnecessary part?

TIA Jun
