I recently bought a Philco 40-190 Art Deco cabinet because it was beautiful and cheap. ($25.00) The only thing missing was the radio itself. So I decided to find and install a radio to make it  complete. I was able to find an untested 40-150 model that appears complete. Now, I have the bug to get the radio in working order. 

I am an electrician by trade and learned Electricity and Electronics while in the US Navy. I don't know much about radios but I'm confident I can learn. 

My first question is about the 40-150 schematic. They  label certain components "Cond." and a uF symbol. I realize that they are "capacitors." My queztion: does Cond. mean "condenser?"

Looking forward to meeting and talking with you all.

Thanks,

Kevin
