capacitors were rated at 20 % tolerance. I have no way of verifying how accurate this 20% rating claim is. I went and checked the old " CDE' branded wax capacitors that were originally in my 1962 C3 but there was no tolerance rating written on them. I checked the red mylar caps and transformer coil filters tray ( originally from a 1970 T-300 ) that are now in my C3 and I checked the red mylar caps in my late 60's / early 70's L-143 and these do have a 10 % tolerance rating written on them. Earlier this year I measured the mfd values of the red mylar capacitors that are now in my C3 and all of these capacitors are well within 10 % of their 0.255 mfd and their 0.1 mfd ratings so therefore these red mylar caps would more or less still be properly matched to their transformer coil filters.
