I had similar multisection caps that gave ranges and not voltages. Really confused me the first time I saw it (a generic replacement in a Transoceanic). Possibly this is a replacement can in the OP's radio as well-I just can't see a trusted manufacturer willing to put something in with such wacky tolerances, but a repairman needing a part with some serious leg room for tolerances would certainly need these.

Typically, the voltages for these caps would be something like: 47@150v, 33@150v, and 10 at 25v (although this could also be 150v as well).

At any rate, do not run this radio until you replace this bit! You will trash much more expensive components if you do. Also, if the hum is coming from that capacitor can, the hum should be present no matter how high or low you tunr the volume control. Hope this helps.
