PHILCO 46-420 HIPPO - Gimmick on cap?
#1

I am still a little confused as what to do when recapping a chassis and there is a number of wire coils wrapped around a wax capacitor. I know this is called a gimmick. How much effect does this have on the operation and would it be noticeable to just replace the cap with an equivalent size. Please explain for us new guys. In this case its a .2 mfd cap with one lead clipped short and a piece of wire soldered on and wrapped 8 times around the cap and terminates on a lug. Thanks much, Bob
