Now that I am studying the build vs the schematic, I have a question

Refer to the image showing the 4 Sprague caps used to replace the bakelite multi cap part #47

As I understand it, running two .001 mfd capacitors in series reduces the capacitance by half.

That would equal .0005 mfd, which is not the schematic .015 MFD for part 47

Why would the tech use serial .001 MFD caps in this application? (Besides "Thats all he had"

Schematic calls for .015 and all I can get is 275v .015 Y2 safety caps so that is what goes in that position for part 47
