Understood, Ron.
Especially if the original was mica. However, I was reminded last night that the factory-fitted 6800 MMF cap on my radio was a paper cap on pictures I found of an original chassis - you might experiment here, if you feel so inclined, but your way will certainly work, of course!
The one that is now bugging me is how the antenna trimmer should need such extreme adjustment? But then I rather like understanding this part of restorations.
Cheers, and Season's Greetings,
Ed
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
