Philco 511 restoration question
#1

Hello forum-
Still working on the 511 and I have a question about the 3 -0.1uf capacitors which are wrapped with coil (one per RF circuit).  Are these tank circuits?  What modern type are to be used for replacement ? Do I just use regular caps and leave the coils intact?  Any clarification is appreciated.

I stuffed mine with yellow tube caps and 1/4w 100 ohm resistors, then I wrapped thread around the old cap to mimic the wire resistor. Then I used a black crayon to melt into the ends. Looks completely original.

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
