Labels for a Philco 37-620 and Cap replacement
#3

Terry, thank you very much. I'm putting that chassis in a 38-320 bullet radio and would like the tags to be proper. Not a lot of differences other than the output tube, but would like it to be proper. If I can ever figure out how to post pictures here, I would love to know how people replace to two wax caps under the center chassis at right up to the front. Appears no way to get to them without some major disassembly. Perhaps someone has a "trick". Don't know they are bad, but all wax caps from this age are really suspect. The chassis is done and the cabinet is very close. Just waiting for a speaker recone to come back. Yes, I'm a wimp, but better to leave it to someone who knows what there doing.
Thanks for the welcome, I have lurked here a bit but normally reside on ARF. This does appear to be the place for Philco (my favorite) questions.
