Philco 38-10
#2

Last night I removed the old condensers from the phono input module, and baked them at about 200F in my oven until the wax had melted and I could pull out the guts. They were both .05MFD. I re-stuffed the original tubes with .047MFD 630V yellow poly caps. I sealed then ends with clear RTV since the ends really won't be that noticeable. I then left them sit over night to dry. Today I reinstalled them in the phono input. It looks pretty original, but will work like new, and the new caps are more than twice the 250V rating of the originals. Here's what it looks like now.

I also picked up a 2 foot piece of PVC water pipe and some flat silver Rustoleum spray paint. I am going to make reproduction electrolytics  to mount on top of the chassis in place of the two later replacement types which are presently there. This will free up some of the real estate in the chassis when I can remove the other replacement electrolytics which someone later installed inside the chassis when the dual section one above the chassis went bad.
