Philco 47-1230
#1

Hey guys, I was hoping for some help with a radio I'm working on. This is my first antique radio restoration. I have a good deal of experience with electronics, but mostly on cars. The unit is a Philco 47-1230. I have already restored the cabinet and cleaned everything up pretty nicely. I've also replaced any nasty looking wiring. So at this point the unit turns on and all the bulbs except one light up. It plays A.M. pretty clearly, with just a little bit of a drone in the background. There's also pops and other interference when you turn some of the nobs.  There's no F.M. at all. When I turn the record player on the motor spins, but the arm seems to be held up by something. Anyways, I am currently trying to get the unit sounding clearer and also playing F.M. stations. From the research I have done I ame to the conclusion that I should replace the Caps. the only problem is I don't know what part numbers to use or really what it is I'm replacing. Any help would be greatly appreciated in finding out what parts to use or how to replace the caps as I have no experience with anything like this on a carIcon_razz
