capacitors??????????
#1

I have a Philco 38-60 that I got and posted earlier and was told to trade out the old capacitors to new..... Ok I will be fine I hope in soldering in new ones but the problem that Radio Shack can't seem to help me with is how to convert the mfds to ufs???? I thought they might be a little help but were none at all. I have the big capacitor which is a 16mfds at 450 dc volts and then a smaller one that is 8mfds at 450 dc volts bother are electrolytic capacitors. the I have the paper ones that say 1 mfds and the philco stock numbers of 30-4455s one 30-4317 p a 30-4412 p and a 30 4358 p. I would like to know which ones to replace these with but would also like the rule of thumb of how to convert for the next radio I get how to do it without asking help. Thanks for any help Shawn
