Philco 47-1230 restoration
#5

Robert,

Glad to have you here. Icon_smile There is a three-legged capacitor in the FM circuit of your radio which, if not replaced, will keep your FM from working. This page on my site gives you all the information on this odd capacitor:

Gary has given you excellent advice. Icon_thumbup Your radio will definitely need new paper and electrolytic capacitors if you expect to use the set.
