I have a 48-200, code 121. The Philco Service Bulletin and the Riders schematic I found online both cover code 125, but the Riders does mention the tube differences (code 121 has 35Z5 and 50A5 instead of 35Y4 and 50L6). Are there any other differences I should be aware of?
Example: in my radio, the cap C302 (from 14B6 pin 5 plate to B-) is not original and was replaced with a .05 Âµf cap, but the code 125 schematic specifies a .1 cap. Is the .05 correct for a code 121 model, or did the repairman make a mistake?

I forgot to mention that this is my first post on the Phorums - I joined months ago, but never got around to saying anything until now!
