I'am working on an 610 philco and need to know if I can replace the two .0001 caps in the bake lite block with 120pf silver mica caps. I don't have 100pfs on hand at this time and would have to order them if it is critical .
Thanks for any advice.

I use standard value 110 pF. silver-mica caps. I'd think 120 are just fine too.
This is the "tweet filter" and values are not that critical.
