Capacitor replacement
I am having a hard time sourcing a replacement for one of the capacitors in my 16A. Any help would be appreciated. it’s a 4uf 600v can type with a screw base to mount it.

"The other mica caps that I tested in the set were measuring low. 6200pf caps measuring 5200-5800pf"
"Haven’t tested the caps yet, the resistors are out of spec. 47k measures 58k, 56ohm measuring 67ohms. "
"When you say the mica caps were out of spec, were they just measuring low? Did you test for leakage? Just curious as I don't find too many that are out, but leakage in these is becoming more common as the silver migrates. "
"https://www.justradios.com/cart.html among others sells the safety caps.

The McMurdo Silver sets have caps above chassis, under the chrome coil shields. Do the Scott Masterpiece sets have them also, or are all the caps on these sets underneath the chassis? I ask because…Continue
