Philco 40-180 Chassis Restore
#33

Dumb question...is it normal for some of the molded mica cap values to not match the schematic value?  Case in point, cap 14 is supposed to be 100 pF per schematic, but based on the three dots, it looks like value should be 42,000 (yellow-4, red-2, orange-multiply by 1,000). What am I missing here. It measures out at 70 pF so I’m leaving it alone, but curiosity is killing the cat here.  Was there a different color dot convention here?  I’ve not been able to find it if so.
