Default Re: Grid coupling Capacitor aka "That" cap.

I think it could be useful for beginners to make this post a sticky and possibly show a couple of examples of 'That Capacitor', specifically the output valve grid coupling capacitor, on actual circuit diagram sections.

I just recall when I first started reading this forum having to work out for myself what 'That Capacitor' was and where it might be found on a diagram. It's also a regular direction when beginners venture on here looking for help, 'Remember to change That Cap' and they're sitting at home looking at their new radio thinking 'Which capacitor is that, there are twenty-five of the flippin' things in here!'.
