Hi
I am new to this board, and I'm so glad I found it. I have a 1953 Philco 53-1884 (My gardparents first TV).
I have recapped a couple of radios, but I'm tackling my first TV. Its a philco 53-t1884 combo with am radio and turntable. chassis are 84, h-4 and radio is rt-9 turntable m-24. I'm replacing 3 can capacitors two are 120uf 150v and one 80uf 300v, I can't seem to find excact match and I''m wondering what two use. supposedly a diposable camera has a 80uf 300v in it. Can I use that? I'm lost on the other two. Any help greatly appreciated. I've already emailed Big Dave on this and he replied with great help. These are all power supply cans. I'm assuming I can go upto 160v on the two 150v ones, can I go upto 350v on the one that was originally 300v? I plan on a full recap. This set works but has no verticle sweep. I guess my question is, being my first tv any in general help and hints would be appreciated? I keep hearing it is more critical to have the right cap values in tv's then in radio's.
Thank you for any help
Bob
