Hi all, I'm restoring a Philco 40-155T slant front and it's coming along great. Got her all re-capped and a re-coned speaker is on the way. This radio sounds really nice, really powerful and I have a good cabinet.
I'm questioning if, since I'm into it now, I should replace the caps in the transformer cans. The radio plays awesome, and it's some trouble to pull the cans, and I always hate doing surgery around coils. But maybe I should just do it rather than wonder later. What d'ya think?
Thanks,
Alan
