Hi!  I have a 41-616 and just installed this 40mfd motor run capacitor during my set's bi-annual shop job.  FYI: Philco changed the circuit from 30mfd to 45mfd to "increase positive action of the volume control motor".  It was a good change too.  This cap works great and fits perfectly in the slot below the motor.

Now if I can just locate a replacement drive belt.  On a 41-616, the motor drives a standard potentiometer with a belt. However, the one I have is on its last legs and slips too much to be able to actually turn the set off.  I'm afraid to adjust the tension any higher.

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
