Hi. Im looking for a little help on this. I don't have a real lot of experience with these old radios. I took a break from working on the Cabinet of my 37-116 and tried to start on the capacitors on this RCA. it looks like someone previously changed out some capacitors and put a 15mfd electrolytic capacitor where the schematic says a .5 mfd non electrolytic capacitor should be. Is this possible and is there a reason why this would have been done. I have checked and rechecked the schematic and I don't think Im reading it wrong . Anybody have any thoughts .
Thanks
