I don't have a lot of values in mica caps, so today I went back inside the set and replaced the homemade 370 pF cap with a single 270 pF cap. No change. (well, 12 mc did go up maybe 100 kc.) So I replaced the 270 pF with a 390 pF and called it a day. I'm not going to mess with it any further.
I added the same type of LED lamps with flexible leads as I installed in a couple other Philcos, and the dial really looks great now. Sorry, no picture. Maybe some other time.
