Ok- Micas replaced:

Location Value Repl. Value Type
#8- 40mmfd replaced with .39mmfd silver mica
#19- .003mfd replaced with .0033mfd axial film
#22- 250mmfd replaced with 250mmfd silver mica
#29- 110mmfd replaced with 120mmfd silver mica
#40- .75mmfd replaced with 82mmfd silver mica

These were the closest values I could find to the original ones: #40 struck me as a very odd figure ".75mmfd" and I believed the decimal was a mistake, and replaced it with an 82mmfd, believing I was replacing a 75mmfd, not .75mmfd.

Remember- this radio did operate, albeit at lower than optimum volume, for several hours. Is it possible I killed a few micas in the process, perhaps? Should I swap back in the originals?
