My RCA C9-4
#9

Hi Russ, The CAP (just one) which was on it was NOT the original. It was a 3 section one put on in the late '40s or '50s, of which just 2 sections were used. The originals were LONG GONE, which is why I had to make reproductions and use the clamps from that junk Philco. The originals would have been screw base with a big nut inside the chassis. These repros aren't the same mounting, but they are better than nothing, and nobody but a really anal retentive purist will care. I chopped the terminals off the replacement that was in there, easy way to keep all the connections which should be together together until I put in the new condensers. If you rally want it, I will send it to you, but I don't see much use for it to you or anybody else since it is obviously a late replacement type. If you mean the paper ones, I'll save them for you, sure. To me they are just junk. As you know, I just replace them with the new yellow ones as long as they are under the chassis where nobody will see them. The only exception is when they are used in that odd LC circuit Philco used where the coil is wound around the condenser, gotta use the original tube to make the coil form.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
