Thanks for all the good advice. I have an order prepared for justRadios for the capacitors and heat shrink tubing for the ends of the caps.
I have also read the rubber covered wiring article on the Philco forum and realize that the wires will need to be replaced or resleeved. The author says he prefers to resleeve than to replace. What diameter tubing would be needed to resleeve ?
Additionally, I am going to purchase an isolation transformer and variac to do this work. Can anyone give me any suggestions as to type. I am basically going to be working on the ac/dc sets in the 1939 to 1948 range. I don't mind buying used (on ebay) but would like some representative models and/or features that I should have for this type of radio.
Again, thanks for all the helpful advice.
