Philco 91 code 225
#1

I have been unable to find a schematic for this chassis. Anyone know if one even exists and where I might get a copy?

I've been working off of a schematic for chassis 126 & 226 and it seems to be accurate but I have a capacitor in my radio that doesn't show up on this schematic. It is in a small metal enclosure but not like the rectangular ones elsewhere in this radio. It is wired to the BC resistor which consists of an 85 ohm and 205 ohm section. One lead of the capacitor in question wired to the junction of the two resistors and the other lead is connected to the chassis. Stamped into the metal case is 50835, searching for this part number yields no results.

The metal case is soldered to the chassis whereas all other parts use screws or nuts and bolts. Makes me wonder if this was a factory installed part.

The cap measured .246 mfd, but I don't know if that number is reliable.

Does anyone know the real value of this cap? Should I leave it in place or replace it with a 
.25 mfd cap?

Any leads or advice would be appreciated.

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.
