While connecting the rebuilt metal box caps I measured the only mica cap I have out of the two that were in question in the sch, #22 (those whose values were changed to 35pF).
Mine is 350pF.

I do not know what to make of it as the radio was obviously "fixed" before and it is kinda obvious so I would not use this as a reference, and again, the LC filter was missing.
I've decided to keep it and build the filter after it.


Now another boo-boo: in the very beginning I could not understand why the connection point of resistors 23, 23 and 28 is also connected to he speaker socket. The peaker point happened to be "E" voltage. Now I get it - whoever fixed the chassis decided to save one cap ad use the one that decoupled "E" to also filter the detector plate voltage. Wow, what a thinkin'. I wonde how it worked although I have a theory.

I also suspect I know why the LC filter was done waya with - the inductor likely burned for whatever reason and so they decided "heck with it, we'll get away with a single cap across". Which is not to say it would not work....
Now I have to be careful and check to see if there is a short in the tube.
