SAFETY DEPARTMENT: How to safely discharge a capacitor
#5

Can someone post a picture of what this "jumper" would look like (with or without the resistor). I want to create one of my own, before I start working on my radio (beginner as well) and I would like to see EXACTLY what people are using.

Additionally could someone explain in laymans term what exactly this means

"It is also a good practice to place a 200K or so 1 watt resistor across the first filter cap to "bleed" the voltage after the set is turned off. "

What is the first filter cap. Lets say in a Philco Model 48-200 ?

My goal is to be safe and I have been doing alot of reading, and alot of asking questions, before I attempt to tackle trying to recap my first radio.

Thanks !
