40-180 Recap - Looking for tips/advice
#24

Two other random questions. Speaking of mocamolds, I've read how to read the 3 dot color code. It's basically the same as a resistor. First number, second number, multiplier. But in this radio, in two places there was a 250pf cap according to the schematic. The actual caps were green-orange-green. Which I read as 5-3-100,000, or 5,300,000pf. What am I missing here?

Second question is inside the side pockets of my cabinet were 2 long U shaped brackets. They are as long as the chassis is deep. Are these supposed to go between the chassis bolt washers and the bottom of the shelf? Or did I just acquire some extra parts?
