Trouble IDing Philco Cap Can
#10

I also agree with Brenda that the parts list is wrong and the cap in question across the plates of the 79 tube is a .006 uF.

Keep in mind that although Micamold did at one time make paper caps which looked somewhat like micas and are troublesome, when your radio was produced they primarily made mica caps which are of good quality. So don't condemn the cap just because it says Micamold.

From its appearance I believe your cap is really a mica not paper, but if you feel more comfortable changing it, use a high voltage cap (at least 600V or higher) since it is across the full center tapped secondary winding. This also goes for the caps in the tone control which will also see the output transformer inductive voltage spikes. These tone control caps are definitely paper and need to be replaced.
