Hi Greg and welcome,
Here's the online Philco service info for your 47-1230: http://www.audiophool.com/Philco.html
Scroll down to 1947 and click on 47-1230.
> 47-1230 has a list of the caps and resistors needed that I could have to get those items on order?
Not that I know of but you can be the 1st! It's simple enough to do. On the caps goto the parts
list for each section and look for cap values that end in mf, mfd, ufd, or uf (they're all equivalent).
These are the one you'll want to replace. Just about all of these will be a fraction of a mf. There will
be 3 or 4 that are several mf those are electrolytic caps.
For now ignore the ones that end in mmf, mmfd, or pf. These are typically are made from different
materials and age much better.
Resistors For the most part are going to be 1/2watt @ the resistance noted by the color bands.
Tolerance of 20%. I measure them before replacement to see if they are within the tolerance.
> where I can get quality at affordable prices that would be great to know as well.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
