restoring capacitor tar block
#1

This is my first time restoring a capacitor tar block on a radio.  This is the metal box with 5 film capacitors, not the bakelite block.  I've got it apart and plan on reusing the original wires that come out.  I don't have circuit board material on hand, but I'm planning on cobbling up some cardboard and perforate holes to secure the capacitors.  What I'd like to know is what different concepts people used to secure the new capacitors in the metal box, maybe better ideas than what I have in mind.  The radio is a Philco Model 60.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
