Thanks Terry,

I think I knew that was the right answer all along...just wanted to use those shiny red German caps so badly!

It seems to me that using a type Y 0.015uF @ 250v safety cap would be a sensible precaution for replacing the unit that goes from the power line to the "LOC" terminal (i.e. the one that bridges pins 8 & 9 of the condenser block). The "LOC" terminal can be bridged to the "ANT" terminal with a jumper wire, apparently to use the house wiring/transformer as an antenna. Is this correct, or would a safety cap be overkill?

What rating fuse should be used for a Model 87?

Thanks again!
