Philco model #20
#26

too late I unsoldered the wires going to the can then removed the can form the radio separated it from the phenolic panel cleaned out enough tar and old foil condensers with chisel giving me more than enough room for the new condensers to go in the under side of the can not on the outside surface , now I have to resolder the wires going to the can back on , I drew a pitcher of all the wires and what tab they went to also I taped masking tape on each wire I took off and marked what tab it goes to just to make sure they went back to the tab on the can where they belong , wish I had done it your way morzh would have been easier and a lot less soldering , now looking at my drawing I don't know why there is a jumper wire going from tab #4 to tab #6 ? on the condenser can . is this right I also wondered why there was a jumper on the long wire wound resistor from tab #6 to tab #7 , I took off the jumper on the wire wound resistor and got a new 1K 10 watt resistor and will unhook the number 7 tab on it and install the new 1K 10 watt resistor , if you look at page one there are photos and you can just see that jumper on tab #4 going to tab #6 , to me it looks like it was factory installed but seeing what was done to the wire wound resistor makes me ask myself is this right , just can't see it on the schematics , thanks again fellows for all the help all the very best Rick
