"Ron,
If you think it is worth it, maybe you could either make it sticky for a while or stash it with a link so it does not get lost.
This is step by step instructions of how to rebuild bakelite Philco capacitors without desoldering."
And I most certainly agree as older posts and threads get lost!
This is a great thread for this situation but at the end of the day this is merely a walk in the park compared to a Westinghouse 1931 Columaire WR-8, two of which are for sale in my area, that use the same chassis as an RCA model 82. OMG the cans and boxes containing the tarred in transformers and capacitors, to the point of one fellow restoring one on another forum using a propane radiant heater to cook the large amount of almost 90 year tar out to remove the guts. They are sitting for sale and perhaps I might be Phoolish enough to venture into this area and I might add they are closer than London or Germany.
