new guy; PHILCO model 45W or 45T?? (canadian)
#4

If it's a Canadian made philco it should have a brass tag rivoted to the back of the chassis with the model number, serial number, and the power requirements, there may also be a paper lable elsewhere like the inside or bottom of the cabinet. The Radio College of Canada manuals should have a diagram for this set, that is if it differs from the American models in any way, usaully they are the same save for using cloth covered rather then rubber covered wire under the chassis. Both Canadain and American models still have rubber covered wire going into the IF transformers so be careful not to disturb those.
The large cardboard tube that has a bundle of wire sticking out one end, in the first photo is the electrolytic filter condenser/capacitors, and will likely need replacement. There will be two capacitors inside that one unit sharing a common negative lead, it's probably easies and cheapest to replace this two section cap with two seperate electrolytic caps. If you like you can clean out the old cardboard tube by melting out the innards and install the new ones inside with new wire leads for esthetics, functionally it doesn't matter, the components in these sets are pretty tightly packed so just going all new without restuffing is understandable . Even if you don't choose to restuff save the old filter condenser anyhow in case you change your mind later or want to use the shell in another radio, same story with the old paper caps.

Arran
