Philco 52 restoration..cap block question

Posted by G. Berg on 03/25/2009 09:00

Yah hi Sly...The problem that I have/had .. I was able to figure out...I just scraped away tar off of cloth coated wire and I was able to tell color code. Schematic was of little use because vales were not on it. I have books on Philco capacitor info that tells values and has original parts numbers..but the crux of the problem was the color code on the wires comming out of the cap block....Was able to clean wires up just enough to get a color off them...


::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??
:
:Unless you are an engineer, I would trust the original engineer(s) of the radio and replace with correct values. I would think if a single values was acceptable, they would have used it then.

:You know there is a Philco Forum on the net?
