Restoring Philco 84 the Bakelite cap # 28 has 2 .015 caps, can I get by with .01Y or .05Y caps I don't have any .015 unless I order them.
Thanks.

If those are the AC input filters, yes, 0.01uF is what you need, Y-rated.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Just pretend it's not there. It's was to tune the field coil. What I do when I overhaul is replace 29 w/2x 10mfd@450v and 28 w/10mfd@35v. The 35v one goes w/the +side to the chassis and - to the hv c tap.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
