[Milsurplus] BC-474 question

[Hubert Miller]

As Dave Stinson has explained here, on the BC-474  C13, 20 uF, is in the wrong position for maintenance of the rec - trans switch:
it charges up when switch is moved to transmit, causing sparking at the switch contact. So the advice is to move the capacitor from
the switch arm of section 4 to the cold contact of the switch ( the only other wired contact on section 4. )
However, occurs to me: this lytic is not really needed anyway when using an AC supply, right? So dispense with it? Or if it's dried up,
just forget it in place?
