I've begun a Philco 60B (version 6) and will eventually get to the 4 capacitors embedded in the Filter Condenser Bank (#30-4013/30-4217).
There are 4 caps in the can and the test voltages listed at https://www.philcorepairbench.com/metal-...ondensers/ are rather high:
.05 2000v
.09 1200v
.09 1200v
.5 2000v
Not sure if those voltage ratings are AC or DC. I have the usual 630v film capacitors on hand, but will they be adequate? The wires coming out of the Filter Bank assembly look to be 20 gauge or smaller - not what I'd expect for a circuit that needs to accommodate 2000 volts.
I'm also planning to replace the .09 uf caps with .1 uf.
Comments? Suggestions? Thank you, in advance, for your help.
