Hi All,
New member here. I recently picked up a `47 Philco 46-1226 Radio Phonograph. The cabinet is in very good condition and the guts seem to be intact. To satisfy my curiosity, I plugged it in (in our driveway) and, not surprisingly, it didn't work. Suspecting all the capacitors are bad, I plan to replace the wax paper capacitors, along with other parts. I know Fender and Jupiter Condenser make wax paper capacitors. My question is: are there other sources that I might want to explore?
Thanks,
Dan
