I am working on a Philco 118X model chassis and a previous repair job was just plain sloppy and I'm having to figure out what is going on since things are moved around here and there.
There is one block condenser which is a 6287-R (part #72) which in my 1936 reference shows to have been discontinued and replaced by a 6287-ODU. The original 6287-R shows in the radio parts list as just 0.25 mfd cap, but the ODU version shows two 0.15 caps internally which of course in parallel would be 0.3 mfd. Does anyone know if the older 6287-R had two caps internally and what the values were? It does have 3 lugs but some of the things connected don't make sense when crossed with the schematic. I'm almost to the point where I'm wondering if I have the proper schematic. The only one I can find is for a 118H(118, 118A). I might just need to get my head out of this mess and take a break from it for a bit. Info on that condenser would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brian
