I think that cap is omitted. As I recall, it was not on some of the interior shots I have seen (oh, but that was a Lightning)
Well, that was immensely helpful, Stephen!
Where's Maccabbe when I need him?!
There are many people that have done reviews at HC on the Spitfire (and Lightning) where they say they are very bright amps. Most of them use Single coil Fender (or Fender-style guitars). They have complained that the Bright Cap needs to be put on a Switch or removed. When I do a Thunderbolt 9 for a customer, I always ask what are their main axes and then use either use a 250 or 500 Brite Cap, or none at all if they are planning on using a very Bright Speaker such as the Greenback or Celestion Blue.
I always use Orange Drop 715P Coupling and Pre Caps as I find the Mallory 150s too spikey in Spitfire/T-bolts.
I have never had to downsize the Tone Pot to get a good swing on it. In fact, the T-bolt Tone Control doesn't even start getting alot of High End until about 3 O'Clock with a Hbucker equipted axe or 12 O'Clock with a Fender-style Single Coil. That being said, I usually run the Tone Control at between 11 and 1 O'Clock with all my Hbucker equipted axes. Again, I think this is because of the use of 715P Caps instead of 150 Caps.
