Everyone thanks for the mica cap lesson. I thought the value is 141PF but the parts breakdown
marks this as 250PF hence my confusion. It is a Philco 38-2670 and I'm using a 37-2670 schematic.
Didn't know if that had anything to do with my confusion. Looks like I'll be on the hunt for Ray Bintliff's
book. Thanks again everyone.
