Interesting development here.

I parted out a '67 Zenith color set that was toast, in hopes I'd find one of those 87*'s, and sure enough, I did. But I also found something else pretty interesting.....a blue cap with a similar 3 pin configuration and a VALUE on it!!!

As you can see, it shows a "2 x .001 10%" on it. Using the center pole as a mutual ground, I tested the two outer ends, and it is exactly a double .001 cap.

Now, for the 87* , it tested at .00189 on both ends, or .002 each side, for all intents and purposes. What the devil the "87*" means, I have no idea, but there it is.

Now, I'll sub in the 87* from the other set, into this one and see what happens. I don't have any .002s on the shelf, and I hate putting in four .001s.
