My first Silvertone

I had the wrong tube, It's attached at one end to ground and the other end to pin 7 of the 6AV6, it's C66, 1500MMf. Should I replace it?

I'd leave it alone for now.

This happens to all of us, and double-checking things is how we figure out the right answers and get better at it as we go along. Now that you know for sure what part it is, here is another tip: Look at its color markings, and see how the colors you find match up with its value (1500uuF, or 1500pF, or .0015uF) as listed in the manual, and compare them to the color codes for this type of capacitor. Do they match? If it appears to not match, try to figure out what is wrong. One or more colors may have faded, or maybe the markings are not as obvious as they could be. Comparing things like this can help later when you find items that really are hard to identify.
