philco model 29
#1

Hi guy's,
Picked up a nice looking model 29 the other day.
Person that had it inherited it from her dad who restored it 15 years ago.
After removing the chassis and looking it over,I realized that he had made some mods to the electrolitics.
On the schematics it shows number 61 electrolitic as a single 6 mfd.
The can for this one is marked as a philco 30-2028a with 2 terminals plus a ground terminal.
The cap he installed is a 20 mfd 450 volt on this one.

The other Elect Cap #64 is supposed to have two 8 mfd caps and a 10 mfd cap.
The can for this one is a mallory type FP. It is marked as having two 20mfd x 450 volt caps, but the schematics list two 8 mfd caps and a 10 mfd cap.

The cap he installed for this one is a single 100 uf 25 volt.
Would anyone at the forum have a good clear closeup picture of the underside of the chassis showing the original electrolitics in place?
By the way, the radio barely played when I tried it.
I would like to bring it back to being close to the schematic if possible.
I am at a loss as how to wire in new electrolitics on this one.
I know he did not do it right.
Label inside the cabinet says model 29, 45
How can I tell which model I have? No markings on the chassis, but tube count and numbers are the same for both.
Thanks
