I don't think I had heard the term 'That capacitor' either, but having dealt with a couple of 5-valve superhets while still at school, both of which had faulty capacitors coupling to the output valve, I recognised the potential damage that could be caused.

Visiting this Forum, coming across the term 'That capacitor' for the first time, I instinctively knew what it must be. After all, it couldn't be anything else, could it??
