Philco 66B restoration
#28

Cap #50 has been stuffed.  It was one of those foil wrapped in wax types that took a good bit of heating to pull it out.  I screwed a long screw into it first so I would have something to grip with the pliers.  Photos follow.  All the caps are now stuffed and I'm waiting for a tube order to arrive with the missing 6A7.  I haven't really started working on the "white" 116B I picked up I did pull the tubes to check them so I could put together the order.  Boy was that chassis dirty!!  Surprisingly, all the tubes in the set tested good.  I was trying to pull the top cap lead off of one of the 77s and pulled the whole cap off.  Even then the tube tested good so if I can get the cap back on it I'll be all set.  There were several more of those top cap leads on other tubes so I gave them all a small dose of WD-40 and let it sit over night.  The next day they all came off easily.

Pulling out the original caps...
