Hallicrafters S53-A
#26

took a lot of time today going through my domino type caps, not a single 100pf around.  I could have rigged something up with what i had to test it but.......... why not just wait for the right pieces parts.

T10 IF transformer based was stamped with Automatic Corp.
sure wish  had info on any spec sheets by them to determine if i am using the right guess here on the 100pf caps.

not only is there signs of strikes and deterioration, there is a hole blown right through from one mica cap to the other passing through the clear spacer.

came apart really easily, I am thinking of using very tiny caps to bridge the tabs.  I would like to install the caps right inside the can and space the tabs so that i dong cut away any lead length that may have contributed towards the alignment.  .. otherwise i will just mount the caps down under the can.
