No, 0.068uF is an odd size. I had a model 1989 Organ from 1970 with 0.1uF 400v ones in the PI a while back.

Some Marshalls used 0.68uF cathode bypass caps, red WIMA seen here:

My bad I meant .68uf not .068uf. Ive also seen the red bypass caps. The TFF and TFM used as .1ufs. And the TFMs as .022ufs in Marshalls.

I swore they used .68uf TFMs as bypass caps for a very short time. I guess I came to that conclusion from that Ebay sleezebag Toneloco advertising them as Marshall replacements and sells them for a ridiculous prices of 80-120usd a pair.

So did any amps use these .68s?

The solder joint isn't original so replacement I guess..

I've never seen a WIMA TFM 0.68uF cap used in a early (1967 thru 1972) Marshall amps....And I've seen hundreds of these amps.

I absolutely hate this ebay seller

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-WIMA-TFM-CA ... xyjxlTNRvl

These capacitors have no importance in a marshall but he words it like they do and prices them like he has something of value. What a dirt bag. And the worst part about it is folks actually buy replacement parts mustards for their marshalls thinkings his are the only real mustard caps left in the world. They see the price and assume thats the one they need. 67$ for a .1uf cap and wont even show a pic of the actual item you will receive.
