Trouble IDing Philco Cap Can
#9

Thanks BrendaAnnD! Glad you brought up the tone control because it's not on this chassis. It must be on the speaker housing itself which I have but haven't looked at yet. This radio is out of a 1934 Packard and there are several pieces that fit under and in the dash of the car that all have to come together. And all that parasitic oscillation supressor stuff I'll have to do some reading up on. Never even heard that first word used in antique radio talk before. But I've only been doing this for about 7 years.

Lets see if someone else chimes in on it but at this point I can only trust that you know what you're talking about. And with you mentioning the tone control I can see on the schematic where this cap would affect the high end frequency. There's no reference to the 3 caps in the tone control circuit so I'd better take a look at that now.
