Just picked up a 1936 Philco 116B Tombstone Radio Today and need some info on it
#48

Quote:I don't remember that cap being a difficult one to remove. You do have two thing against you. Where it's soldered to the chassis will require a large iron to undo it and where it's soldered to the bandswitch those connections can be somewhat delicate so you don't want to apply any force to remove the wire from the joint. So the simplest thing to do is to cut the wires off of the cap and slide it out between the wires. Fortunately the replacement is smaller will clear the existing parts easily.


Well that one I am having problems with because my nippers I have are too big to fit in between those band switch wafers to cut that old capacitor out.
