Default Re: 'THAT' Capacitor. What is it?

I started by building TRF valve receivers when I was at school, did radio and TV at collage, worked in the TV repair industry on valve sets throughout the '70s and into the '80s, but I've never come across the term "That capacitor" until I read this thread. Now it has been explained to me I fully "get it".

I get worried, paranoid almost, about this capacitor, and the damage it can do if it goes leaky.
Good example is my old Yeasu FT200 transceiver, "That capacitor" is a well known stock fault, and the 6JS6C, finals are practically unobtainable.
Hence the paranoia.
