[R-390] no receive below 8mc.

[Chuck Collins]

This receiver is throwing everything at me it can. I would like to get 
it going as a way to enjoy my parents and grandparents tax dollars!
Yes the 17mc is good. Bad 100pf.  It started out at 1/2 volt and now I 
have it up to 10 volts at 17mc spot on. Third time is charm. (Lesson 
one, buy quality parts of the proper style)
I checked the switching and that is good. Tubes good, switching is 
proper. Only the faintest signal can be forced through.
I am thinking it could be one of the 5 caps and received the 51pf and 
65pf but where do you get a 1.5 at 2% tolerance?
I can't think it would be anything else but these caps at this point. -Chuck
