Oh....I think I mistook the electrolytic cap for the fuse someone put into and thought that was the part in question.

Yes, what Bob said.
Again, there is no fuses in the original radio (nor there were in most or all Philco radios....there was one in the sentertap of the speaker transformer in 38-690).
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM
