Introduction and two Philcos
#17

Dave


If you re-read the thread one more time (not a bad idea) you might notice that at some point it was suggested the capacitor blocks have already been restuffed with the new caps, so why replace them?


I am referring to the backelite capacitor blocks. You do not necessarily need to repace them or measure them, just unscrew one of them, turn it over and see if it is still potted with black tar or there are newer, possibly yellow or brown, or maybe white capacitors inside. In which case you just leave them alone.

It is quite possible someone has done full recap for you already.

And without desoldering wires there may be (at least for some of them) no good way of measuring them.

Just pay attention to what people say here and don't get trigger happy. Take it easy. Enjoy it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
