I hope someone with a 15 chassis can help me out with this one.
I found this cap crudely solder across the #42 tube plates.

I got a copy of the 15 schematic from Chuck which shows it as #57, but no value.

The parts lists shows #57 as a 240,000 resistor across the volume control - not illustrated. There's no resistor across my volume control though.
It does list #58a as 0.002 mfd cap across the output transformer primary. Perhaps this is the capacitor in question ?

Finally, to make matters more confusing, I dug up an original Philco schematic and it shows #57 as a resistor across the #42 grids and no cap between the plates
