Thanks Terry. I guess I got the "booby" prize version of this radio since it looks like that dial cord will break frequently. Will try to figure something out to reduce the friction around the two pins over which the cord rides. A gimmick cap used for neutralization usually goes between the input and output of an amplifier stage, so the placement of this one is strange since it goes between the antenna and oscillator sections of the tunning cap. I'll just replace it, since the insulation is cracked, and figure Philco knew what they were doing.
