[Boatanchors] 75A-4 Silver Mica Replacements

More silver micas.

However, I wouldn't change any of them, unless I knew, for sure, I had a 
problem.  Most are frequency determining components, rather than 
bypasses or coupling cap.

The ones I would watch out for are C19, C34, and C37, the 100pF grid 
caps on the RF and mixer.  Leakage here, can upset grid bias.  A 
high-impedance voltmeter should reveal any problem.  For instance a 
leaky C19 will hose the AVC,
