Philco Not Restored as Indicated in Ad
#7

I was looking at the yellow can than contains the three filter caps and the values were 80, 40 and 20 mfd at 150v but the schematic shows two 30's and a 25 mfd. I wonder why the discrepancy? Very unusual is they were all good and within 10% of the stated value. I thought for sure they'd be open or very high. I'm also wondering how I can get into that can without destroying it to replace those caps since they may break down under load and being old I may as well replace them.

Well, it's getting late and I'll look into that tomorrow so, I'll just say a Merry Christmas to all and enjoy your families. Me and my Corgi will probably have a TV dinner tomorrow.
