Thanks for the tips. I was wondering about the film cap.. I only did it because the schematic doesn't list it as mica. I came across a similar one of these in another set that turned out to be a film cap and the cause of a problem I had. Ever since then, I'm suspect of the larger mica looking caps that aren't listed specifically as mica on the parts list. I do still have the aerovox I could easily put it back or put it one of the new ones I got.

it was pretty maddening yesterday trying to get this to align. I'm just 140 KHz from my goal.. just an inch on the dial! Both adjustment screws are tightened completely and I just need another 1/2 turn, dangit.


Joe, I've hear about those coils. they had a nifty little tool for adjusting those too, didn't they? for those metal plate and mica caps. I have some of those in a box of philco parts I bought over the summer. was wondering what used those.
