Hello, I am about ready to recap the I.F. transformers, and noticed that I will need 110pf caps. I have 100pf caps, but not 110. Since this is a tuned circuit and the schematic calls for 110 wouldnt 100 be too far out to use? AES didnt sell 110 silver mica caps, closest they came in the silver mica was 100pf.

Sean, I just did a GE C-406C clock radio circa 1858, the original mica caps were leaky. I replaced them (value measured 100pf) with ceramic disks of the same value @200v and the set plays fine after a bit of realignment. I doubt the 10pf difference would cause any problems.

Hello, how did you get the old caps out? Mine are somewhere in the plastic base. I guess I have to melt or drill them out with a soldering iron
