The PHILCO Phorum

Forgot all about that capacitor that coupled B+ to the 6F6 on a rca c8-19. but i did replace it after that incident     .

That's why we call it the smoke test!  The smoke doesn't do any good trapped inside anyway.

Sounds really nice now still got my windows open because that did NOT smell nice.

I unfortunately did this with a Philco 41-608. I was testing the BOL and the person said they replaced the Ecaps but it smoked out bad and bellowed this hot stinky mess. I think the Trans is fried unfortunately but I have another.

Capacitor killers.

Capture and bottle that smoke to use as a mosquito repellent

Also works on mother-in-laws and wives when one wants to be left alone on the workshops.
