Philco capacitors
10/10/2006 7:26:59 PMAl
Hi: I am attempting to replace the filter caps on a Philco model 20. They are all encased in a can on top of the chassis. The schematic (courtesy of Nostalgia Air) shows four caps that appear to be interconnected. I am hoping to see if I am reading the connections correctly before I attempt replacing them. It appears that three of the caps are linked to terminal one and have ground leads connected to the center tap of the power supply with the remaining leads going to number 2, 3 and 4 chassis connections. I am sure that this may not be the correct terminology but can anyone coach me in making the correct connections? Thank you. Al

Hi Al

Here is a very clear schematic showing the cap can:

:Thanks Norm. I believe the picture shows three of the terminal one (1)capicators connecting with the center tap of the power supply lead for the 80 tube. Since I'm pretty new to reading these I just wanted to check. Thanks again. Al
