decoding cap values

Post by traynorbassmate »

I'm having trouble ID'ing these two caps. They're found in a Champ-type single 6V6 amp.

1)

2200M UW
AUW 1.4KV

This cap is connected to ground and between the Plate of a 6V6 and output transformer.

2)

300K
Z5P
3KV

This cap is connected to ground and the plate of a 12AX7.

The circuit calls for 225VAC input into a bridge rectifier. If the above values are too vague, can someone point out suitable replacements for the described application?

much appreciated.

thanks!!
