I'm going through a 41-290 and have a question on a cap in the oscillator tube circuit. The schematic shows a 250mmf mica cap connected between the plate of the XXL OSC tube and terminal 3 of the oscillator transformer. The cap that is in the radio is a rectangular cap that is color coded Green-Orange-Green. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help!!

Proprietary color code. There's a list on Chuck's philcorepairbench.com website that decodes them.
