Philco 45C butterfly - caps restuffed?
#1

I picked up a Philco 45C a year and a half ago, and just got around to looking at it.
   

It's clear that it's been worked on quite a bit, but it's not working.

I'm wondering whether these Philco paper caps look like they've already been restuffed?  I expect the ends to be yellow and waxy-dull looking, but instead they are black and hard-shiny looking.  The caps don't seem to be coated in wax.
   
   

Also, in this last picture, there's a 10K resistor with one end hanging loose (circled in green).  Does anyone recognize which resistor it is on the schematic?  My schematic (NostalgiaAir) is pretty lousy.  And small.
   

Thanks for any help!
Rodney

Change the tube. Check the tube's bias network. Are any other tubes experience the drop or just this?` Is resistor 23 OK...morzh — 07:09 PM
