Philco 16X restoration
#15

Ron

I do have 3 electrolytics (all good brands high ripple) and one film.
The formers 1,1 and 3.3uF and the film is also 1uF.
These are all RC filters and so the caps do not get stressed, so will last forever, for all intents and purposes.
The film one is there because I only habe 2 pieces of 1uF lytics.
And the 4 film 450V or 600V caps would likely not fit anyway due to low height of the cap.

However, the 1st filter (rectifier) 8uF cap will be the Solen 8.2uF film cap, which I stocked up on some time ago. The 2nd one, axter the choke, could be an ectrolytuc: I serialize 2x 22uF 500V ones from Panasonix, they have almost 700mA ripple rating, and there is little ripple after the choke.

I have just a tad more cleaning to do, with a cotton swab and alcohol, for the base, as the white spirit (the mineral one) did not somehow do a great job removing the wax.
Then I will have to drill, I think through the base, not through the rivets, holding the terminals. Not sure why. Maybe I am afraid of dissimilar metals. Though esthetics-wise that would look better.

Then 2 more lytics. They are not original. But look right.

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.
