Sorry Roy, my apologies...I was thinking of something entirely 
different. I reboxed that particular radio to keep dirt, dust and 
anything else out of it while it sat here awaiting restoration. From 
memory it has two obvious faults...

Low sensitivity below 8mhz and distorted audio with the noise limiter 
turned off with noticable improvement when turned on to 'one'.

The ceramics aren't at fault, I just had a brain meltdown...sorry...I 
should have checked my facts before I posted.

Ken
