Philco 38-690 Capacitor Replacement Question
#4

I just finished aligning the 38-690! 


To replace the one capacitor that was buried I was able to loosen the screws holding the RF chassis in place and lifted it from the back. Disconnecting the side panel I was able to get in and replace the capacitor there. I then ran a wire to the bottom of the chassis and connected the capacitor and labeled it so if anyone services it in the future this will stand out.


Thanks for all of your help on this. It's a fantastic radio, and I'm very happy to have it.


Chris
