First post! 48-200 Code 121 differences?
#4

I know this is an old thread, but I'm reviving it because I'm now working on my second 48-200 Code 121 radio, and both of them had .05 uF original Philco capacitors in them. The first one worked just fine with that arrangement. The jury's still out on the second one, because it's not done yet, and has some issues.

Trying to Google info on the Code 121 is what brought me here.

What I didn't know and learned from this thread is for this model, the Code 121 came AFTER Code 125, so if the 121's have .05, I'm going to assume Philco made that change later, and that is the correct value for that run.

If anyone else has been inside other 48-200 Code 121's and finds an original C302, please post what value it was.

"Why, the tubes alone are worth more than that!" (Heard at every swap meet. Gets me every time!)

Philcos: 90, 70, 71B, 610, 37-61 40-81, 46-420 Code 121 to name a few.
Plus enough Zeniths, Atwater Kents and others to trip over!
