IF Can Capacitor value (SMD)
#2

Hey Eric, start by lightly tacking in 100pf caps on both transformers. Then try your radio and see if you can get it to peak out and receive. If 100 pf doesnt work, go up to 110, then 120, then 130pf. Just lightly tack the leads to the transformer terminals so you can remove them to try a different value. I've read that restorers are using 100pf caps in the IF cans, but 100pf doesn't work al the time. I recently restored a Philco 53 - 564 and 100pf caps worked on the first IF transformer,  but I ended up using 120pf in the second IF transformer.  Just experiment and you will get it. Just take your time.
