Thanks Brenda, I need to check my stash but may take you up on it. Will let you know. Took off the IF can cover and checked the transformer and the resistor (all good) but alas, no caps. Philco documentation lied listing those three parts as a subset of the number for the transformer. They are about 4" away tucked under a bunch of wires and resistors! Fun exercise. As far as I can see about the only thing that's left is the two caps in the pi network or the one going to the AVC amp. May check the amp again. All three of the 100pf caps are of the domino type.
Still wondering if I just remove the AVC tube as test, would the radio still work? Might eliminate that as a source of the problem.
Regards, Jerry
