Hi
At the moment I'm looking over a Hotpoint P64MEC with clock, which seems to be identical to a AWA Radiola 461MA. As yet it hasn't been recapped so no power up for a while.

I've noticed three white round small pill like objects (see photo) which from my limited and expanding knowledge of reading circuit diagrams appear to be C2, 6.8pf .C15, 10pf. and c20 ,220pf ceramic capacitors? all related to aerial coil and If transformer.

C2 and C15 have separated from the wires, old age, and Ive kept them in place with some PVC glue on the outside.

I've searched the net for any images similar to give me some sort of reference, to confirm values or voltage etc as there are no markings.

Does anyone have any ideas, if I'm on the right track or Barking Up the Wrong Tree? Any ideas would be welcome .Thank you.
