Still fooling with the Space Command, I found what looks to be a ceramic disc but much larger than the others at near the size of a quarter dollar. The cap is yellow in color with what looks to be a CRL logo and 110-k, and also 4kv markings. I have a close to correct schematic for this set and it lists a 100mfd. Isnt that kind of large for a disc? I guess I tend to think of discs as being very small capacity, the wax paper is usually the second largest, and the largest values are usually wet electrolytic. This cap is in my sound discriminator circuit with a 6bn6 tube. The cap seems to be open. I have seen some low value orange drops that are so high resistance they dont give any reading with an ohm meter, but a 100mfd should give a good kick with an analog and read some high resistance on a digital. I get nothing. So any info on these caps would be great. The 4kv leads me to think 4000 volts but that thing is in a 265v circuit. Maybe this is the cause of the hum in my sound. I have started checking out discs since nothing else worked.
