Hi
 My name is Bob Allen and I am very new and inexperienced at restoring radios. I am at present trying to restore my 1942-380 Philco Radio. I was advised to replace the paper capacitors, which I am trying to do now.
I am trying to find some replacement capacitors but I’m afraid that I am going to buy the wrong ones.
So, I am looking for some advice on which one’s to get.
My first capacitor is a Mallory 450 V ( Negative Black) it has these numbers on it 235643,,,,2N 518
8 MFD Red. It has 3 wires coming off of it, 1 black and 2 red.
The second capacitor is Yellow, made by Sprague Atoms and the numbers on it are T.V.A. 1704
8 MFD 450 V.D.C surge voltage 525 85 degrees “c” to 185 degrees F it has a “J” and number 739
The third capacitor is red and it says cat.#m8-450 8 mf
450 W.V.D.C. 525 V.S.p.
I cannot find any (uf ) on any of them.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have looked high and low for a schematic for my 1942-380 Philco Radio, if anyone knows where I can get one please let me know. Thanks
Thanks 
Bob Allen
