replacing a dual Ecap with 2
#24

3793AD was discontinued and replaced with 3793ODG. 3793ODG uses the wiring in Fig 1 of the Bakelite data sheet found on Ron's Tech Section page. (See http://www.philcoradio.com/tech/images/bakelite.pdf ) It has two 0.015uF caps and the mounting lug is grounded to the chassis.

As far as the ecap that is the aluminum can type mounted on the top of the chassis, they are not too hard to restuff. See Phil Nelson's info: http://www.antiqueradio.org/recap.htm#replacing .

You can either take the ecap can off the chassis (especially easy if it has a screw type mounting ring that holds it down) or cut the can while its still attached to the chassis. Also note that some can caps are insulated from the chassis and may have a lug that is held against the can by the pressure of the mounting ring, while others have the can connected directly to the chassis.

Restuffed and ready to glue the can back on.
