Philco 52 restoration..cap block question

Posted by G. Berg on 03/24/2009 20:10

Yah think I agree....The only reason I did not wana try it is because I don't think I can fit 5 .5 caps back in the original can....

:::Hi all I am restoring a Philco 52. It has a block of caps (Philco part # 03915 cap values are .1,.5,.25,.5,.15 )The wires comming out of the block are usually color coded making the job easy. In this case the wires are coded in tar and I can't make out color on wires. Plus the schematic does not give values..just the placement of caps by virtue of a number(23 on schematic) My question is..could I just replace all with .5 values or will this effect preformance??

::Replacing them all with 0.5 will likely cause problems. This is especailly true in teh audio section. There wrong size capacitors will cause distortion in the audio.

:I must respectfully disagree with Mr. Grim. I think all those caps are bypass caps, and the value isn't important. But, since it won't hurt anything, why don't you try it and see what happens?
