Philco 20 Big Can Question
#7

Mike, I think he is talking about the wires connected to the caps inside the can. I believe he does not want to disconnect the original wires that are under the chassis. It is only 6 connections and it is much easier to handle with the can off the radio. My 20 is actually sitting on the bench as I was working on increasing the sensitivity on the low end of the dial. so for grins and giggles, I removed the 4 screws and lifted the can from the base. It is just press fit. The original caps are surrounded by fish paper so the can comes off quite easily with a bunch of heat to soften the tar that might be holding the fish paper to the can. It should be doable without disconnecting the wires connected to the terminals.
