Okay, now this is confusing. One of the capacitors in the IF transformer appears to be 220pF - odd considering that both the manufacturer's and Trader schematics state all four IF caps are 100pF.

I can't understand why this would have been fitted from new or fitted by a repairer at a later date - surely it would make the whole IF section untunable?
