[Hallicrafters] SX-62 Sensitivity capacitor

[Chuck McGregor]

C127, the 100mfd capacitor was added to the early SX-42 schematic, as
documented in change 16 in Hallicrafters  Service Hint #21 dated
October 20, 1947.  It was correctly added to the schematic, but on
some SX-42 parts lists it was erroneously listed as 100 or 110 mmf.

Service Hint #21 is in BAMA:
