Default Hallicrafters SX-76 Help

1. Does the fact that this set has double conversion make it more
sensitive or selective ? It seems to be no better than my S-40B ?
2.The volume and sensitivity controls must be at almost set to
maximum to receive anything on 80 meters or higher. Is this normal ?
Any suggestions on what to check ?
3.Will this set be more sensitive on a di-pole antenna ?
I only have a vertical connected to the co-ax connection .
4.The selectivity controls has two capacitors about 1.25" long and3/8"
thick with red, red, orange, white, blue bands. What is value ?

I have replaced all caps, bad resisters and none of the tubes have
shorts. The alignments seems fairly decent on all bands, but I have
not attempted to adjust. (Don't trust myself to do this...).

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks,
John
