I've restored three and as found, they were all .05µF per the original Ekco Datasheet.

If you're stuffing the waxies, I guess you'll be stuffing the upright cathode bypass cap (25µF 25V). No great chore.

By far the nicest of the round Ekcos and the easiest to restore, with most components on the tag-board on outside of the rim of the chassis.

Good luck with the restoration Liam.
