Philco 38-15 caps
#1

Hi Guys - I bought a Philco 38-15 a few weeks ago and want to bring it back to life. Thought I'd start by ordering the capacitors. Now in the schematic there are two double electrolytic caps, one with the original cap in a can on the top of the chassis. The other one is wired in the bottom of the chassis. The schematic shows two electrolytic 2uf and a 4uf and I assume that cap was wired on the bottom of the chassis. But, right now the cap is shown as two 30uf 150v caps (a double) in stead of what the schematic shows. By looking at the solder, it's not the original cap. Maybe that was the only one the prior repairman had. So, I want to replace all the caps, and especially from the double 30uf, to two single caps, 2uf and 4uf to make the schematic match. Only problem though, I don't know for sure what voltages is needed for that 2uf and 4uf caps. I'm afraid to buy 160v incase that's too low. Does anyone know what the correct voltage needed for those 2uf and 4uf electrolytic caps? I'd appreciate the help! See ya -- Atco
