What happens if I change the size of the cap from 0.25uf, which is in the radio now, to 0.05uf matching the schematic?? Mine is run 126, if that matters. Incidentally, I just discovered a Philco Service Bulletin, No.251A, that has 0.25uf and 700-ohms, both different from Riders. With different part numbers as well. The Philco bulletin also has the electrolytics [see previous thread] oriented correctly [negative to ground].
