Philco 37-89 questions??
#5

I have replaced the bad rf choke and am now re-capping the rest of the radio, which leads me to more questions.

What should I do with the two bakelite block condensers, #44 and #54?

Can I replace #44 in the tone control circuit with a regular cap of a similar or close value?

Can I replace the #54 line-to-gnd noise bypass cap with a regular, say .01 mf cap 250V, or do I need to go with a more expensive safety cap?

Thanks for any suggestions
Dick
