Philco 16X restoration
#7

Spent some time recapping today. Three backelites are bolted to the chassis' sides, so not as convenient. And two were going close to the heat shield for the wirewound resistor, so I had to remove it in order to heat the caps.

Lots of alterations due to replacing caps with the external ones, not all accurate either.

Dilemma: find a 4 section electrolytic to try to be closer to the original or use 4 tubular caps locally. The repairman used a twistlock but with three sections, only two used and then two other replacements being tubular. I have not even looked at the twistlock, to see if it is correct value.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
