I got to the .047 600V that is across the line. I know this needs to withstand whatever mother nature and the power company might throw at it, so I'm wondering what exactly to use to replace it. Any suggestions?
If you decide to replace it, go to www.justradios.com. They sell "safety capacitors" that are designed for this purpose. Of course, you could try the set without it, like has already been suggested. I've got many radios from the late '20's and early '30's with no line bypass cap and they seem to work just fine.
