[Heathkit] DX-100 Capacitor Question

[L L bahr]

I've been studying the DX-100 and DX-100B schematics.  The B model used a 68 pf cap as a blocking cap off the 5763 plate pin 1 and the DX-100 used a .001.  At the same time they added a 150 pf cap off of pin 8 of the 12BY7 on the B model. No cap was there on the DX-100.  I can't see any other changes in the drive circuits or power supply feeding these circuits.  (Discussion is not taking into account the crystal/VFO switching circuit differences).

On some versions the capacitor in question IS a 68pf, as listed in the parts list.
