Working on a very nice Grundig Marlborough 3028.
Built in 1956 and completely untouched.
Referring to circuit diagram C61 is a 50uF electrolytic.
C63 is a 10 uF but does the circuit diagram represent a special capacitor or is it just a ‘typo’ With both sides of capacitor represented with a blank box?

C63 is a non polarized electrolytic capacitor.

Thanks Lawrence
Where would I be able to find one, or do I just leave it be?
