Mondial, you are absolutely right about the micas. In this case, it's just a "feel good" thing since I am doing this for a friend who wants to pass this radio down to family. Everything was original, including the micas and of course over 70 years old, so I dediced to replace everything, even resistors that checked good. This cap was a no brainer since it was located inside the can, and in order to get to it, the xfmr wires and the can must be removed, so I decided it needed a good new silver mica to hopefully last another 70 years.

John, that is the way I am reading the cap, but just wasn't sure. Some of these six dot caps get me, besides I'm color blind, but not to orange and red. It's usually 1 meg and 10 meg resistors that get me! The blue and green...
