Philco 95 Metal Caps
#1

I recently picked up a Philco 95 and was hoping that someone might be able to help identify the part numbers of the the two metal case capacitors on the underside of the chassis. There's one that has two wires... I believe it is part number 3557 (2x.25 mfd caps). The other has one wire - still guessing at that one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Oh, while I'm here... Is there an easy way to determine if it's an 'early 95' versus a later model?

Thanks again,
Stephen.

Likely part (24) on the schematic, 0.5 uF.

Yes, I believe that's it!  24 on the schematic, part #3583. Not sure how I missed it.  Thank you for setting me in the right direction.
