New 46-1203 Owner
#1

Greetings! My name is Jeff, and I recently purchased a Philco 46-1203 radio for my very first restoration. I've been creeping on the various forums for a while now, but figured I would have to create an account now that I am officially an owner. I have already downloaded the DjVu plugin and schematic, and I am currently searching for an isolation transformer to protect myself from electricity on the chassis. So while I wait for the isolation transformer to be purchased, is it possible for me to go ahead and start recapping as long as I don't apply power. And for the sake of time and energy from Googling every single capacitor part #, is there a page that lists them all in terms of what to replace them with? I'm guessing that page 8 of the schematic lists what is currently on the chassis, but I'm not familiar with recapping antiques.
