:Hello, I have opened the capacitor box and its not tar, its white stuff about 1/8 inch thick with metal under neath separated by what looks to be cardboard insulators like a battery. At one end of it at the top was a 16uf 450volt cap that had corroded a long time ago.(this one will be replaced for sure!) I would think all of these wires go to a caps that are tied to the case for ground. Did they just stick those match box caps in here that I am used to seeing under chassis of 30's radios? I am wondering how to remove these as they are not covered in tar. I can chip away the wax?, but then what? The power supply must not be exactly like a us radio 80 because that schematic didnt have a 16uf cap.
:Hello, just thought I would add that the box I thought originally had the caps in it turned out to have the inductors in it, so all that work just to find out no caps....well at least I know where the inductors are now!

:Hello, just a note..there are what appears to be about 5 different caps here divided by these thin cardboard insulators

:Hello, I am not sure these caps are tied to the case. When I measure to the case I get .595nano farads on all of the wires. When I measure each cap from the black/yellow trail wire, then I get 3.5ufgreen wire, .78uf blue wire, 1.869uf red wire, .875uf black wire. Also the 16uf cap did not have a cloth wire attached to it, it had a rubber wire so I would think it was added later?

:Hello, If this 16 uf cap was added later then they had a tough time digging out some of the old cap to fit this one in because it looks like thats what they did. Question is if I start digging these caps out, are they oil filled or or filled with something else. I did notice something leaking out from the bottom of the case. It seemed like a brown stickey oil.

I found a small sheet of asbestos in my 1950 Stewart-Warner 9151A about 2 x 3 inches above the dial lamp. I went so far as to contact the Ohio EPA about removal and disposal. I was told that the size of the asbestos wasn't enough to cause harm. I wasn't successful in removing it after wetting it down, so I just left well enough alone.
Good luck,
Mark

:Hello, dont think I have a choice here so I am drilling out one of the caps so I can have a spot to hide the new ones. Just hope this stuff is not hazerdous material.

::Hello, also a note.....is any of this material hazerdous to my health?...This thing smells really wierd. Not a bad wierd, but strange
