Philco 47-1230 what happened?
#6

I must agree with morzh, this recap is not done right. You have a capacitor lead going between two terminals on a terminal strip with no sleeving so the slightest movement will cause a short and another with a long lead going over several components. The soldering looks ugly but some people have adopted the view that you should not unsolder wires directly from old terminals or tube sockets, you just cut the wire a short distance from the solder lug and solder to this stub lead. This is not necessarily bad but it does need insulation.
