im restoring a Philco 42 PT-7 radio for the first time and I’ve heard i could get shocked if I’m not careful.. What are my real dangers with it unplugged? I also heard on YouTube that paper capacitors should just be automatically replaced because they’ll likely go out soon if they’re not already. Can I just clip the wires on them (provided I take plenty of pics beforehand) without any dangers? My snips do have plastic handles so I should be good as far as that part goes… The guy who I bought it from on eBay said it did light up but no sound came out. Any guesses to what maybe wrong? I’m guessing likely a bad tube? But that’s only a guess, I have not attempted to plug it in myself I downloaded the schematic for it but I’m not sure how to read it. I don’t want any of my faults to keep me from trying to restore this thing though.
Any help would be nice!
Thanks,
Adam
