Have to tell you about that cap in the detector: yes it will reduce the distortion. But it also will reduce sensitivity. Quite a bit.

Thanks. I had read about this and decided it was an acceptable trade off. This radio will not likely be a daily driver so being sensitive and selective will not be a priority. Most of the time it will be playing music from my transmitter. So I am opting for better sound quality as the priority. Having the classic looks of an early cathedral in original condition and good sounding audio will make this a great addition to my humble collection.

So far I have acquired these Philcos; 41-221, 60, 20, 111, 38-7, 38-40 and 48-482

Regards,
Rick
