As is very common, I have had to replace the Electrolytic Cap on the Philco 84. This model has a 4uf and 8uf , which I have replaced with a 4.7uf and 10uf at 630v.
I have asked around and am not sure the right place to tie the Negative ends of the new caps. The radio as I received it had a make shift wire soldered to the ring washer on the bad Cap Can which went the center tap as shown below.
My instinct is telling me to simply attach the negative leads to the metal clamp that holds the can in place( after its restuffed.)
What is the proper way to attach the two negative leads of the new caps ????
thank you
