Today's rescue: Philco 52-540
#5

Here are some chassis pics I just took.

Someone did a bypass repair due to a failing multi-section capacitor. They cut out a red wire and added in a new capacitor to make up for it.

Take note of the two green circles I put which shows how they bypassed. The smaller circle shows a stub of the old red wire still there. The larger circle shows where they snipped off the red wire at the capacitor.

The piece of electrical tape probably contains a soldered spot which has a light blue wire added in to connect the newer cap over to ground, thereby emulating 1/3 of the old mullti-section capacitor.
