I think the GR-54 and 64 used the same cap -- the #26-81. It's also used
in the GR-81, and the SW-717 (a transistorized GR-64) as well.

I looked for this capacitor for quite some time, before buying a junker
SW-717 to salvage it.

I'm still looking for a #26-85 cap (the 4 pf bandspread variable), and a
dial panel to restore my GR-81.

I can't help you with the #26-81 -- but if you need any other parts that
might be in the SW-717, I still have it.
