Philco 39-45 restoration: speaker wiring question and more
#25

Ron Ramirez Wrote:The mica caps in the pushbutton assemblies of those 1939-1942 Philcos are usually bad. Since they are only insulated with wax, they tend to absorb moisture over time.
That's what I was thinking... definitely different than the other mica caps and not in a good way. I could not believe how bad that one looked when I pulled it loose to measure. Will replace.... looks like I'll be making another order out for parts.
Also will look into what I might need in resistors while I'm at it, just in case.
I'm sure I'll be posting for help when I get to the alignment.... would be nice to have one of those "station setters"!
Thanks everybody!
