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

Though "waxie" could itself need a bit of further explanation for the uninitiated- many mica plate types have a good dolloping of wax on them but are amongst the more trustworthy vintage types. There are always the excusable exceptions after 50-80 years though.... As they are often front end/oscillator/IFT types, sometimes with "odd" values, blanket changing could unlock a host of un-necessary troubles.
