Philco 38-2 Low Volume
#62

I have already determined what I needed and aligned the IF have all three compansators peaking. The volume is now what I consider normal. I have included pictures of my IF2 with the 110pf cap tacked in to replace the one in 2XA. Note the 110 on what looks like two caps together. These would be for 2XA and 2XB. I am assuming the 110 is the value of those two caps and that is why I choose 110pf for my 2XA replacement. I will be doing the same for 2XB. 2XC show a 160 so I assume that would be 160pf. The second new mica cap is 2XD that I replaced when I first started on the restore. If you look closely at the bottom picture you can see black specs in the wax where the caps are, I'm thinking might be some kind of corrosion. I need to figure out some way to get the old caps out of the circuit so I can use their terminals for new cap. Hope these pictures help explain what I have.
