I am attempting my first re-capping job on a 1948 Philco 48-200 radio.

I have come across what I think is a melted capacitor (brown tubular item in center of photo). However, (and I am new so I am not sure), I cannot find this on my schematic of the radio, and I do not know what the capactance is for this item. it attaches at pin 6 to the 50L6GT tube and pin 5 of the 14A7 tube. it is in parellel with a resistor but being such a newbie, I don't know what it's resistance is.
If someone could help me out with this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Just added new phot of underside of mystery capacitor.

Hi,
The cap. is C202, 220pf, in parallel with the 470K resistor. Pin 6 of the 50L6 is a B- tie point on the tube socket and not an active tube pin. Just use a standard 630V cap. and you'll be fine. Be sure to check all other components. John

Hi, agree with John except the resistor in your set R203 reads 430K (yellow=4, orange=3, yellow=4 [43 plus 4 zeros]) not the 470K that the schematic calls for.
