Hi Phil et al,
    I know Phil's found bad micas, so have I & others.  I'm suspecting some
in my SX-42 IF transformers.  I presently have 2 of them open, suspect T-2,
the 2nd IF as possibly flakey.  But, what are the proper values?  I have 2
paper schematics, one Halli, one Sam's.  Can't read them well.  Also got the
2 different -62 manuals from BAMA, same problem.
    Does anyone have a good manual of the SX-42 or -62 & can take a look for
me?  I'm particularly intersted in the 2nd IF, sometimes called that,
sometimes T-2, it's between the 6SK7 & 6SG7 in  either rcvr.  Note that the
signal runs from right to left.
    From the skems, I "guess" values of 52, 62 and 82 for the cap in the
455kc primary, and 320, 330, 390 in the secondary.
    I"ve pulled the primary cap, colors aren't much help.  I have an
accurate Ballantine capacitance meter that reads it as 82 +-5%.  I know that
values can show high if there's some leakage, but putting it on the Freed
megger, at 300 vdc it reads 50k megs, plenty good.
    Any help out there?
thanks & 73,
