X/Y safety caps are discussed to some length in the "philco bakelite blocks" thread:
http://www.philcoradio.com/phorum/showth...hp?tid=121

Yes, they are designed to fail OPEN. They are designed to be used in line-to-ground or line-to-line applications. In other words, the only bakelite block you would put X/Y caps in would be the one where the AC cord is attached. This block has two capacitors, one leg of each connects to a leg of the AC line; the other end of each cap goes to ground via the grounding lug on the block.

Use conventional metalized film capacitors in the other blocks in your Model 620 sets.
