Thank you for the information. I do indeed get a 4 on my lowest 200pf scale. I will replace the part and retest operation.

UPDATE:
I replaced the 3pf NPO black top and re-tested RX operation and found it to be acceptable but a bit on the high side with a floor noise to signal ratio that was a little to be desired.
I then replaced the 68pf black top with a 82 violet and the receive is now very impressive with a much lower floor noise and great signal ratio. Again, I'm not quite sure what this mod is for but looks to go to a added yellow tuning can on the reverse side. That be as it may, the radio is now performing great and one of the better sounding ssb rx radios in the shack.
