Hallicrafters S53-A
#24

I have 3 IF cans with what i assume is the automatic radio number first and the confirmed Hallicrafters pn second.

IF1  T10
119-3-18-inkstamp on can
50C241-inkstamp on can
47A086= the manual says this is the manuf pn


IF2  T11
119-3-18-inkstamp on can
50C241-inkstamp on can
47A086= the manual says this is the manuf pn

IF3  T12
119-3-28-inkstamp on can
50C242-inkstamp on can
44B388= the manual says this is the manuf pn


In this vid ..

He notices that it appears T11 and 12 are the same and T10 is different with respect to the caps.

he says T10 should be around 100pf,  he says T11 and 12 are going to need 47pf caps.

so............
does anyone have a resource link to these IF's where perhaps the OEM specs for the caps is posted in a document somwhere?

I want to make sure that i dump back in a cap that is relatively close to the original but as you can see i have two different setups for IF's,, so its pretty clear to me that 100pf on all the IF's pri and sec wont work in my case as a baseline to get these silver mica's replaced.

I figured i would replace all three,, although i plan to only take care of T10 for now, then listen to the set.  If its poping then i will move on to T11 and 12 mods.
