if you have spare circuit boards lying around like i do,, try to harvest a variable cap off one of them... three leg usually a white rotator and blue body ,, that color code i think designates pico ferads... but either way, i used the same process to narrow down a faulty IF variable cap.

I only have a few resto's under my belt since joining here and i have already ran into 3 bad IF's but all three had to do with tuned slugs.

if you have a way to measure the capacitor size or by part number,, target the specs of C300A as your cap that you would want to duplicate into the spot of C301A.
