[Hallicrafters] SX-62 Sensitivity capacitor

[Javier Gómez]

Both SX-42 and SX-62 were very similar electrically, so the info below
should apply to your radio.

In Hallicrafters Service Hint No. 21, a summary of modifications for
the SX-42 Receiver, dated October 20, 1947, under #15 (Sensitivity
Control), we find:

"Install a 100 mfd. condenser C127 (45A116) between center terminal of
sensitivity control and ground". The purpose of this modification was
to eliminate motorboating with change of setting of sensitivity
control.

Also, the same source also indicates another modification (#7) to
eliminate motorboating, and reduce time constant AVC circuit:

"Install series combination R98, 1000 ohms (RC20AE102M) and C126, 0.05
mfd (46AU503) in parallel with series resistors R11 and R9. A tie lug
is necessary for this operation."

>>    I'm trying to straighten out a somewhat hacked SX-62 and have a question about the Sensitivity Control bypass capacitor value.  My schematic shows 0.22 uf (C24) but in both SX-62s I have (I have 2) there has been a 100 uf capacitor plus the 0.22.  Has there been a suggested modification to the C24 value?
