Philco 50 (early version)
#13

Used a couple of 6.8uF Solen caps to replace the original 6uF.  Here's a pic of the new cap ready to get stuffed back in the can.  Solen's are not electrolytic so there is no polarity.  One side is threaded around the bolt head with a washer and nut tightened down and the other end (what would be the negative side) is a wire that goes through the bakelite and forms a ring around the base of the cap.  This will be what makes contact with either the chassis or the connector that is insulated from the chassis and goes to the B- transfromer center tap.  Russ had a way of connecting the negative lead to the can so its more original but I thought I'd give this a try.  Its still not visible when its all assembled.

Some epoxy around the edge of the bakelite and then put back into the can...ready for installation when I get to that point down the road.
