Zenith Model H511 tube radio, please help with identifying value of ceramic capacitor

[[email protected]]

I am repairing a Zenith Model H511 tube radio 1951 model.

It has a brown disk ceramic capacitor that has the numbers

22 (dot) 5 in blue letters. < that is a (dot) not a (period)

There are not other markings.

I have looked at a few capacitor numbering data sheets
on the web but I am still not sure about the value.

Is it a 2.2 microfarad ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank You

I must be a LOT older than you because I, on the other hand, have changed
several in both old and, when I started in the 60's, new equipment.
Typically, the out-of-tolerance ones caused audio distortion, while the
shorted ones caused many other symptoms.

By the way, the capacitor the original poster asked about is a 110pf, 500V.

Whoops!

I am so use to asking for help (and receiving it) here in
sci.electronics.basics that I didn't realize that I was improperly
posting in the wrong news group for this type of question.

Please accept by apology and thank you Mr. Richard Seriani, Sr. for
posting the value I needed. Thank you all for your help.

You deleted the cross post, so he didn't see your reply. It only
appeared in sci.electronics.basics. For newer electronics ask for
