thanks for the additional info Arran. I have learned the total blacked out sets are very very rare to find whereas the two tone black / gray are common,,, and yes,, also a better well made set than hallicrafters.

I am under the impression i may not need to replace the disc caps as they usually dont go bad but yes all the bumble bee caps are gone and as well the filter cap good or bad.

i am crossing my fingers the silver mica wont be a problem but i feel compelled to mitigate it in the future by using a 150pf cap after i eliminate the mica discs,,, then do a full realignment.

thoughts?
