40-180
16 and 12 mfd caps .....iv got all the caps to do the job and have replaced all the .05 .2 .003 with modern equivalent caps ...
i don't want to re stuff the 16 and 12 cans but i also don't want to remove them . what do i need to do ? do i solder the + end to the wire and solder the neg to the lip of the cap or solder it to the radios chassis ?

part # 58 and 61

#61 does not ground directly to the chassis it is grounded through resistors #60, and #59. (made that mistake way to many times )

#58 does ground to the chassis.

Just follow the wires connecting to the original e-cap and connect your new caps to the points where the old ones connected. You might have to install a terminal strip to secure everything.

Make sure you disconnect the old e-caps do not leave them in the circuit!

For some reason when I clicked the link in your post for the schematic it didn't work.

Thank you sir ...Now i need to know where exactly i need to solder (#61) cap to the resistor(s) .preferably with a photo as im not schooled in reading schematics.
and last but not least will i need to have the radio aligned ?
I live in southern indiana
loogootee Jasper area .
I have a few radios..... vintage electric fans and lighting are my main hobby .

Nice Fans!

The #61 cap should have two wires coming from it one to the positive of the cap the other to the negative. You can unsolder these two wires and solder the wires to the new cap. Make you you get the positive and negative connected correctly. Secure the new cap so it doesn't flop around and short out on anything.
