Hi all!

So recently I picked up a Philco Model 95 radio! It's in pretty good condition - at least on the outside  Icon_confused

Inside...

Philco 95 Gallery

It was dirty! A think layer of fine dust coated everything. I got all the tubes packed away - it did come with all of them! I brushed off as much of the dirt as I could.

Now on to the fun part  Icon_biggrin

I know it needs a total recapping. There are several newer caps, but most look original. I've found all the caps I need here: www.justradios.com
Is this a good source? Will I have any problem replacing all the caps with 630v metalized film caps? There are three that I need much smaller values than are available for film caps...50pF and 250pF - is it ok to use 500v dipped silver mica caps here?

I assume it also needs a full compliment of resistors...at least it will need something to replace this: 8300ohm Resistor

This appears to be a 8300 ohm resistor that has had some damage...the damage was all on the top of the resistor - looks like some arcing?
