Default Re: Capacitor identification.

With that kind of working voltage, it's possibly a cathode bypass capacitor. The cathode would be Pin 4 on a 76's UX5 base. The valve base has 5 pins; 4 of them are equally spaced and one stands on its own. Looking from the bottom of the valve (or valve base) orient it so that the single pin is in the 12 o'clock position - Pin 4 will be the pin now at the 3 o'clock position, 90 degrees away from the singleton clockwise.

Is there also a resistor connected between the same pin and ground?
