First post! Been reading for quite awhile but now need a little guidance. My background: Retired Navy electronics type however that was 25 yrs ago. So it has been a relearning curve. I have retained my soldering skills thru several other hobbies over the years.
I am currently refurbing a Molorola 61-CA. I know this is a Philco forum but I have 3 Philco's on deck. I choose the Motorola as my first project mainly because I rx it first. lol
So I have found several cases where a cap in the chassis will have a different value than the schematic? Do you go by the schematic? or is it a case by case situation? On one of them the cap in place was a different manufacture so I am going to assume someone repaired and that was what they had. In that case I will go with the schematic. But for the ones that appear original but don't match is my question I guess. Thank you for your time and help in advance. I am enjoying the process so far and am looking fwd to getting to the Philco's. My favorite I think will be my 610B. I listen to SW often so this will be a treat I think.
