Model 41-250 dual 370 pf cap
#1

Well, I replaced the dual 370pf dual cap in the oscillator circuit with two individual 360pf caps and now the oscillator doesn't oscillate on the push button position of the band switch. On all other bands the cathode of the oscillator is grounded and the dual cap does not come into play. I measured to old cap and besides the 370pf between each of the sections and ground, there is a 170pf between the two 370pf cap sections. So, I added a cap between the the two individual replacement caps, and now I get a oscillator signal on the push button band. Has anyone else who has worked on this or similar models, and replaced the dual 370pf cap with separate units, had the same problem? Thanks.
