Silver mica capacitor question
#5

Hi Everybody,

Thanks a lot for the answers. The reason I was asking the question is that I have a Philco 39-30 that has a couple silver mica capacitors and a 41-256 that has a couple as well. At least I think it's a couple. I've read that these 370 pf silver mica capacitors on my 39-30 need to be replaced with 390 pf as the 370 pf value is no longer available. I see on the parts list for this radio that this capacitor is described as silver mica. Is that usually the case with Philco radios? That silver mica capacitors are described as such on the parts list?

Sorry if I'm making anyone crazy with all the questions.

Thanks a lot, Tom
