I have an Airzone 1152A radio and am replacing the capacitors. One I cannot identify due to the label being smudged off. It is a DUCON cap about 5cm long of orange brown colour. It is electrolytic.
Any suggestions on how I can identify it.
I have been unable to find a schematic for it.

Many Thanks

Circuit is in AORSM's.

Being brown it probably looks like the other one, if it has not been changed. Both HT ones are 8mfd 500V

The one on the cathode of the 6F6 is 10mfd . 40V, dump it as well. & check the cathode resistor while it's unsoldered.

Thank you for your information. I bought a copy of AORSM Vol 4 and have the circuit. I will also check that resistor.
Many Thanks for the assist.
