RE: Question...

For coupling capacitors, the outer foil should go to the grid. This way it is statically grounded through grid leak resistor, and provides electrostatic shield for the whole capacitor. On many old caps there is a marking indicating the outer foil, so that a cap could be connected the right way.

I tried connecting caps both ways, and there wasn't much difference.
