48-1262 capacitors and coils
#5

Hello Mike and welcome to the Phorum. First off the moderator today may move your post to a new thread, but don't get lost because we can start getting you moving on restoration. Yes, the light bulb is a 120 volt lamp, probably a C7 Christmas tree bulb. If you put another one in I would use a clear one. Get a schematic diagram from nostalgia.com. Next, do some component checking with a multimeter. Check all the transformers and coils for proper resistance and continuity. Keep us informed of your progress, you'll welcome the support and direction. Check resistors; I use 10%. Most will say 20% is good enough. Plan on replacing all the electrolytic and paper capacitors; they are well past their expiration. A lot of us order caps and resistors from Mouser Electronics. Use the schematic parts list for reference. Order capacitor values closest to the original value and it's ok to get 630 volt mylar film caps to replace the wax paper and 400 volt caps for the electrolytics. The 0.05mfd cap that fried is probably the line filter cap and should be replaced with a safety cap. Read up on the hot chassis issue and make sure you understand it. Don't power up the radio until the power supply filter caps have been replaced. Your new changer may have a magnetic cartridge which may not produce enough signal for the audio amplifier. You can check on that later.
