Arran, they are ca s, small ones.
I think it is a screwup in the procedure.

The C1 and C2 said in the procedure to be IF caps do not affect IF.. Nor are they have the ref designators according to the schematic. Only C3, which is, same as C2, is a dual trimmer, acts as IF.
But. C2 pair does affect the reception, both of them. I was lazy to trace them and see what they are in reality, the radio just doesn't want me to do it, too many things to unsolder and pull to see wires. And when I, without realizing that C1 has the screw with the cap inside and the screwdriver slot outside and turned it enouh so it fell inside....I spent an hour and eventually had to unsolder top two wires to get it out and put the screw back in.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
