Missing Cap on 118
#1

I’m rewiring a Philco 118 highboy, due to damage to the wiring, using Philco service bulletin #194.
I am now rebuilding by-pass capacitor part 46 and am missing a 1mfd. capacitor. Part 46 has four (4) electrolytic caps in it, three (3) one mfd and one (1) two mfd.
I found three (3) caps and am missing one (1) cap, a one mfd cap.
Could the missing cap be mislabeled? Could the cap labeled 28, on the schematic, actually be part of 46?
28, on the schematic, is labeled 1 mfd; however, on the parts list it is listed as a compensating cap.
( I will try an attach a schematic, with the parts highlighted. )
