Is there a reistor underneath that mica or micamold cap? It looks like there is something pigtailed across the leads. According to the dot code it's 200,000 mmf or picofarad, unless I misread it, so that's .0002 micrfarad, the correct value according to the schematic. Hopefully it's not paper inside but given the size it could be either paper or mica.
Regards
Arran
