Philco used some mica capacitors with values that are not available today, or might be hard to get.
How far off of the values specified in the schematic and parts list can you go before performance is affected?
For example, in the RF deck of a 37-116, there are 40 pf, 25 pf. My new mica caps are off by 1 pf (39 vs 40, 24 vs 25), and I would assume that is not worth worring about, but I could be wrong about this assumption.
How far off can you substitute a value before you affect performance negatively?
