GE 810 restoration

Hmm. Eric's linked chart results in a 200 pF cap doesn't it ?

It's C47 in Riders. It's listed as a 0.002 mfd 600v paper cap.
It appears to be a coupling cap between the Clipper and AFC circuits.

They also list C30 and C78 as the same type. Those were tubular paper & paper caps and I replaced them with poly. Heck C78 was even connected to the same tube right next to it. I can't find any evidence that C47 was ever replaced. So why would they use different type caps unless it was important ?

I'll just leave it alone for now.

Guess it doesn't quite fit the standard paper mold. I would interpret it as paper 2200pF, 600Volt and 5% using the colors, but guessing on the order of the dots.

It's strage that none of us have found a catalog or the like that explain these oddballs.
