Hi folks,
I have noticed that several of you are now using film capacitors such as the Solen Fast caps sold by Antique Electronic Supply as replacements for electrolytic caps in various old Philco sets.
This is something I have not done as of yet, but have been wanting to for some time now. I am now working on a vintage Philco instead of a Fisher, for a change, and wanted to ask:
Do you only use these as the input filter, or do you replace as many electrolytics as you can with these?
This particular Philco has some multi-section cans and it is going to be pretty difficult, if not perhaps impossible, to restuff those with multiple film caps.
So let me know your thoughts.
Thanks.
