Anybody ever have a Philco that didn't need to be rebuilt?
#8

I'll have to side with Ron and Poston on this one. If it's an AC powered radio and it's over 40 years old, I automatically change the electrolytics. I know of someone who cooked the transformer in a beautiful 37-61 cathedral because "it played with a little hum" and they didn't change the caps. Come on now guys, is saving about 8 or 10 bucks on capacitors worth risking it? Icon_smile
