Thanks for the info! I shall simply replace the cap. I have both mylar and orange drop in .22@630V. Think I'll use the mylar, because the orange drop is as big as the original triple filters, which I'll end up replacing with three different electrolytics. Now that ought to be fun, hooking my made-up filters to B-! lol
The cab sure perked up, getting 59 years of grunge off it! Ain't it a wonder what Novus #2 will do? I haven't made a decision yet as to how I want to ....ummmm, finish the finish! I have Magnolia Glayzit, or could use dark Briwax. Any tips there??
I've already run the chassis up to line V with my bench variac. I heard 60Hz blubber....blblblblblblbllbblblbl lol~!! It had a 50A5 in it that lit up, yet had no emission...NONE. It musta stumped the previous tech, because the line cord was simply hacked off!
BTW, I have another 49-501 that's now incomplete that I bought with a broken cab, as a parts donor. I won't need the parts. I briefly had that one running, as well. It had a blown 14A7 and the .04@400v Micamold line filter was popped in two.

AS far as the trouble with the 16-B's shorts trouble, ya got me!! I'll get back to it, eventually, but After the 49-501 is done, my next bench victim will be a 49-506! I do these 1949 models, because they're the same vintage as ME!

Bill, thanks! I bet Ron is glad you're not Ron! lol
