Philco 42-380
#9

Bob

It's not as bad as it looks. The Solar and Sprague are replacements from the '60s and use two in parallel to make one the right value (for #61). I take it your a non reader of schematics? The brown tube w/the wire sticking out of one end is the a dual cap #20 & 20A. The modern replacements are about 1/2 the physical size of the originals. I would take the new replacements bundle them w/a layer electrical tape and then use a zip tie to secure it to the chassis. Where the metal strap was. Use wires and black shrink tube to connect to it proper connections.

You will probably find some decayed rubber wire. Replace it so you don't have any shorts or major failures. The Stancor transformer is a replacement also but is a common problem w/'40-'42 sets. So it's too alarming.

I believe as per Phorum rules is thread will get merged with with the your cap thread.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
