Apologies, very new to this still.

I don't think its a choke input as there are no inductors in the circuit, and its not the reservoir or smoothing cap as I've identified those two as 50uf.

I don't actually understand the application of this capacitor unless its part of the smoothing circuit (I'm guessing here), but its part of a Dynatron GR8 record player amp. It just links the + DC wire coming off the rectifier to the chassis earth.

Thanks Station X, I've put my entire order together so far on farnell. But it looks like I may have to purchase that one from cricklewood.
