C11 - Capacitor 50/3

[bastelwut]

Hello...
in the schematic of the C11 tube-preamp is a polarized capacitor 50/3.
On pictures of the original cap I see 50-3.

What does it mean?

thank you for your help

It's 50mF, 3V. Recommended to change to 100mF per the later C22 revision. (And I used a 16v capacitor as 3V are difficult to find.)

my tech installed a 100mf 16v cap in mine as well.
