On the Early set sch on this website is #14, 0.5uF.

Sorry.  I guess I haven't quite figured out how to attach a file.  However, thanks for pointing out the capacitor in question.  The newer model 20 schematic shows #14 as a .25uf and that is what I installed in the aluminum can.  I have both the early version and the newer version schematics.  I am assuming from Ron Ramirez' Philco Radio book that the model I have with the maple curly front is a later 1930 model.  The tuner in mine is a three gang tuning condenser.  Am I correct that the trimmer capacitors noted on the early schematic is the tuning capacitor?  If I am incorrect, maybe changing the .25uf to a 0.5uf may help?
Thanks for your patience and assistance.

Jay
