Paper capacitor and Hallicrafters S-40A notes
While the high C value may not seem to be a problem I suspect it may
indicate some deformation of the capacitor elements or some other problem.
I suspect the the high C reading is not due to a real capacity increase, but
rather to the fact that the meter shows a C higher than real when the measured
capacitor is very lossy, i.e. it has a fairly low resistance in parallel.
