Restoring a Philco 38-1
#5

Hi Pat:

I sent you an email diretly, but thought I'd post it here also, in case you missed it or should anyone else wish to chime in.

I'm a complete neophyte when it comes to the electronics in these things. I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron, though, so I'm sure I can handle the project if I know what I'm doing.

What exactly are the electrolytic caps and how do I go about getting replacements and changing them? The chassis doesn't look that complicated, but is there some direction you can steer me in as far as someone with no previous experience doing this himself?

Thanks.
