Hello Everyone,
I have a capacitor in a 1935 Zenith 970A radio that I cannot identify. The pictures I have sent show a 2 1/8" long black capacitor with a red dot on it. One end connects to the candohm center terminal (ground) and the other connects to the 2nd audio tube #56. The capacitor has a reading of .005 when disconnected. If someone could give me the correct value for the capacitor I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Paul
