Just finished a model 60 and have a question about short wave. This is a later run where the LF compensating condenser was replaced with a 1400pF mica cap. However the actual cap in the radio is 2100pF. After alignment, the AM plays strong and is quite sensitive, but SW seems weak with low sensitivity. Could the value difference of this mica cap be the culprit? The 2100pF cap looks original, but I am not sure. Is there anything else that could cause low sensitivity on the SW band?
  Thanks,
Tim
