Zenith 6-D-2615 project
#15

Am continuing to recap and check resistors.  So far resistors have been amazingly on spec.  I did replace one dogbone with a carbon composition.  Most of the Zenith caps are similar to Philco caps with a cardboard tube with wax caps on each end of the foil cap.  I did run into two Zenith caps that were thin paper over a wax cylinder that completely covered the foil cap.  Fortunately I was able to slide the paper off of the wax without any heating and without damaging the paper.  For these, I built up the diameter of the new yellow cap until it was the same as the paper and would thus provide some stability to the stuffed cap.  I then fill the remainder with hot glue.  Here's a picture of one of these after sliding the paper off of the wax cylinder containing the foil cap:

I'm a bit better than half way through the recapping.  Everything left of the yellow line is recapped.
