Philco 16X restoration

>>> without replacement caps just hanging out of the terminals.

Well, they would work but not quite as intended, as the very first 8nF cap would act almost as the three 3nF caps engaged.
Still not good.

The brown glue - I get it on Amazon. Just make sure your stick fits your gun.

Yeah I find "nF" more convenient. Does not require me to write as many zeroes.
Like 0.001uF i/o 1nF, or 0.01uF vs 10nF.
My CADs are flexible and do not dictate what prefixes can or cannot be used so I use them there also. Well, since I am the only one reading them anyways Icon_smile no one complains.

I think in the US the lack of the nF is for the same reason we use US imperial units in spatial measurements. (those I actually like).

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
