Recaped and recarbonated:
Need to find the 2 .25mf metal box caps to get rid of those yeller ones.
Otherwise, its tuned up and works great.
OH, the 3 tar buckets in the middle also have 250 ohm wire resistors that do not need to be replaced, if you do not break them taking out the .05mf cap.
The big red dog bone and the 2 black wire wound resistors are the only ones that were in spec, other than the 3 mentioned above. This radio was interesting because Philco was still using their own personal color code for resistors with some odd colors.
