Hi experts,
I am a guy with need of help. I have a Philco 40-180. I have just completed the recap process ( more on that later), but during the process, i lost a few little thin wires running to the coil assembly. My question is, can i replace and solder these back to the original or is something special about these wires. Ive noticed that they are bare and im wondering if i can solder with new wire and all is ok. Also, would stranded or single wire be the best for this. Now back to the recapping. This radio has 2 electrolytic capacitors housed in cans above the chassis. I believe there are only one capacitor per can. My prob is determining polarity since all wires seem to connect to the same place at the bottom of the can. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
