    confusing Schematic symbol, need help

    I'm looking at a schematic for a Princeton Silverface amp, and attached to pin 4 of the rectifier tube is what looks like a capacitor with this notation: +25 --||-- -50 with the POSITIVE side going to ground. On the layout diagram it say +50 on one side and -25 on the other side of the cap, again with the positive side going to ground. I can't read what's on the actual cap, so I need to know

    a) what is the value of the cap, 25 or 50 uF, what do I ask for when ordering a new one?

    b)which is the correct way to wire it ?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    That's the bias capacitor. The + side goes to ground, because bias is a voltage below ground potential.

    It's a 25uF, 50V cap.
