I have been working on a pair of S-40B receivers over the last 18
months, and only recently became aware of the possibility of capacitor
failure in the IF transformer cans. Based on my reading on the subject,
I suspect that I may have one IF shorting out across its silver-mica cap.

I found a web page with a procedure for replacing these cap's, but I
have no idea what the values are. There are two IF transformer part
numbers in the S-40B, so I suspect that they have different caps.

The Hallicrafter part numbers are 50C243 (1st and 2nd IF) and 50C242
(detector).

I would greatly appreciate some help with this question.

Have you attempted to align them? What are your symptoms?
