Well, off to Mouser to buy some caps. Actually I only need one 12uF 450V cap (will use 10uF), but this is the one voltage I do not have the caps of this capacitance for. The rest I have.
Well, maybe I should wait 'till I check all the resistors, so I don't have to double-pay for shipping.
Funny enough, the cap that was supposed to be 12uF was indeed 12uF. It was composed from 2 paralleled caps (that one soldered with a band to the chassis in the pics before), one of which was supposed to be 16uF and another one - 8uF, and both lost enough capacitance so instead of 24uF it is now 12uF.
Of course I am not keeping that one

| Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM |

| Hi OSanders,
Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM |
