[R-390] Re: Staggertuned IF Question

I notice the values for the caps and resistors in the cans aren't specified 
except to say they are part of the transformer.  I wonder if these 
components could be the culprits here?  They sure look like a pain to 
replace, but could do that if necessary.

I peeked at them during my lunch break and if I could see them well enough, 
I noticed that some of the caps are the rectangular molded variety while 
the others appear to be dipped silver micas.  I wonder if the differences 
were due to their capacitance values or if SMs were better on the input or 
output and the others were better in their respective posions.  If I did 
replace these, I assume I'd use SMs in both positions but was curious.

Thanks,
