    Hi. Please see attached photo of a capacitor.   Can someone possibly tell me what the capacitance is on this one?

I'm not sure if this is a paper cap or a mica cap. It's from a 1954 Philco radio model B 1750. It's shaped like a kidney bean, not like any of the other paper or mica capacitors in the radio.   The tip of one side is yellow, then the stripes are:
orange, violet, green, white, white.
       The schematic says it is 7.5 pf (mmf) - just want to confirm this is what the capacitor is saying. Thanks
