1933 60L Restoration
#24

I did use the .1 caps in that Bakelite condenser. Also, on the AC power in condenser block I installed a .015 safety cap. and per the service update I was going to add a second .015 for the other line, but I couldn’t physically fit two .015 safety caps. in it. I used a physically smaller .01 safety cap in there with the .015. Should that work ok for the hum reduction? Will having two different values on the lines be an issue?

Also, below is a photo of the chassis before I started working on it of a blue .04mF capacitor that was in this chassis and I have not done anything with it yet. I'm trying to restore this as close to original as possible, which is why I have re-stuffed all of the bakelite blocks, the electrolytic cans and the condenser filter block. This puppy appears to be an add on someone did in an attempt to repair an issue. The electrolytics had also been by-passed with some old big loose caps. At least one of the cans was there and I got another one on Ebay cheap that matched.

Anyway, can anybody provide a photo/diagram/etc. that shows what this chassis should look like without that cap and resistor (wired in parallel to the cap)? If it was an attempt at some repair, I need to determine what is most likely defective, so I can correct it. The cap is going between the 6A7 and the wire that is going down into the top of the Oscillator Transformer can. I haven't removed that yet from the chassis. Any help would be great.
