Thunder crashing 1401
#1

I have a 49-1401 that has been recapped, resistors checked good, and it plays fine throughout the dial. However, it has the tell-tale signs of dreaded silver mica disease. My question is, can anyone tell me what value mmfd caps to use in place of the mica plates in the two IF cans? The schematic lists the ohm values for the coils themselves, but not the mica capacitance. Here's a link to the schematic at Nostalgia Air:

Many thanks.
