I have a 40-120 Philco radio that has been in my grandparents house for at least 70 years.  It has 2 Aerovox Domino style Capacitors with the 3 dots in the arrow Green, Orange Green.  I looked this up and everything I find said this would be 535mmfd aka pf.  The schematic shows 110mmfd.  I thought maybe someone had replaced it with an incorrect capacitor.  I purchased 2 40-120 Chassis from different venders on ebay and both of these also have the Green, Orange, Green domino aerovox capacitors.  One goes between the volume control legs.  The other goes from the volume control to the OP pin on tube 7c6.  What am i missing?

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
