Hello, everyone,
I'm re-capping a 37-116X and ran into part #72 on the schematic, a Bakelite block (8035DG) containing two 110 pf capacitors. What is the consensus on replacing the micas? Do they need to be replaced or can they be left alone? The electrolytics have been replaced and the set is working but all of the paper caps were original and are now being replaced. Most of the resistors have been spot on!
Audio is distorted but that might be because the speaker cone's adhesive has failed where the cone's rim is attached to the basket.
