Hello, everyone!
The current project is a #655 console. The chassis has several multi-section electrolytic cans and the lugs are color coded. Philco part #30-2045 contains two caps ( 8 and 10 uf with red and bare metal lug markings) while #30-2122 contains 3 caps (1, 2 and 3 uf with green, yellow and unpainted lugs). The parts list offers no insight as to which lug is which cap, or the voltage ratings of the caps.
Granted, I should be able to determine which is which with the aid of the schematic and I’m presently doing that while unraveling the logic of a previous repair that is making interpretation of the schematic more difficult. Was there ever a standard for color codes for these multi-sectioned electrolytic cans? Has anyone ever posted a list of these multi-sectioned caps that assigns meaning to the color coded lugs?
