Rebuilding a Philco Tropic 42-730EZ
#16

Here's tonight's progress report:

[Image: http://www.philcoradio.com/images/phorum...e00008.jpg]

Most of the wires have now been replaced. Of all the paper caps you see in the photo above, all are new (restuffed) save one. I have removed the electrolytic cans so they, too, may be restuffed.

Only a few resistors remain to be replaced.

The other original 0.2 uF paper cap's sleeve was too small to accommodate a new 0.22 uF film cap. So I looked around, and found an old Philco 0.25 uF paper cap which was much larger. This is what I used for the second 0.22 uF cap. You can see it in the photo above - it is the largest paper cap under the chassis.
