Is it pretty common to find parts inside a radio that differ significantly in spec from what is on a schematic? I'm assuming the answer in a cheapie set like this one would be yes.
I've found a couple resistors and capacitors that are off from the schematic and parts list. One is a large electrolytic cap that says "12 MF 200 PV" on it, but no such cap exists in the schematic. I've found three 250k resistors, but the parts list only shows one. Then the parts list shows a couple of two-part caps, but I only see one.
The set has a mixture of older fabric-covered wire and rubber coated wire (the rubber wire is crumbling and I'm replacing those strands as I go). The volume knob also seems to be somewhat newer than the others.
EDIT: Here's the schematic I've been using.
