Philco 41-280
#1

I've got a philco radio 41-280 model and I just changed all the caps and replaced some of the tubes...It works, but I can't get rid of the distortion. What could be causing distortion, I've changed both 41 tubes and the 7C6 tubes, thinking that might be the problem. But I also discovered that there is a cap that is .005 when the schematic says it should be a .002MDF.... could that be the problem. Has anyone come accross this problem with this radio, is there anything else I should be looking for? I ordered new .002 caps and should get them soon. I'm hoping that's the problem but if it isn't, I've run out of ideas.
