The 39-116 project: the beginning
#24

Brenda

The one (and only) time I ever worked on a 39-116, I remember finding some non-polarized electrolytics at a motor shop.

If I had to do it now on a set I was going to keep, I think I would use metalized film caps. Those are expensive, but should last the rest of your life.

15 uF, 400V from Parts Express:

If you want 16 uF, they have them, but almost double the cost:

30 uF, 250V:

Edit: (95) is polarized, but I don't see why a non-polarized film cap wouldn't work. I now remember replacing a similar cap in the 41-616 I used to own with a conventional polarized electrolytic. If I had it to do over again, I would try the film cap. I do not remember what I used as the motor run cap in the 41-616; Joe (w4rtc) could tell you as he now owns the radio and he did some fine-tuning and finishing to my not quite 100% completed job on that chassis.
