Philco 116 Broken Mica Capacitor Lead Wire
#9

My caps came in the mail today, I'm going to be installing one today to see if I can finally get this thing up and running again.

I was able to decipher the color code dots on the capacitors I just bought and 2 of the capacitors are 3300 Picofarad 300 WVDC 5% Tolerance and the other one is 20% tolerance.

The original capacitor was marked as a 20% tolerance capacitor (no color marking on the capacitor for the tolerance marker).

So I figure I will just use the 3300 pF 300 WVDC 5% capacitor in the spot where the old one was because its still within the 20% tolerance specs of the circuit design.

Thanks for your help.

-Levi
