Cap Subs
#6

planigan Wrote:Model # and part # would be very helpful but location may indicate line caps. On that block does the line cord come in to the chassis and run to that block? Both sides of line cord? If so they are probably line caps and should be replace with the new "safety caps" which when they fail, fail open, no short. The high mfd is kind of high even for line caps which usually are around .015mfd. These may be additional filtering caps? Best get the schematic before deciding what to do. Pat

This is the Philco Model 16, Code 122. The block is way on the opposite side of the line and is not wired to this individual bakelite block if that's any indication. Appreciate your help.
