I am restoring a Philco 37-624 6VDC battery set.
The vibrator supply has 3 metal encased .5uf capacitors that I need to re stuff. What voltage can I use with these caps? 1000 and 1600 volt units are too big to fit in the metal cans which are only about 1/2 inch diameter.
The Philco schematic numbers are numbers 72, 75 & 76. The part numbers for all is 30-4296 - Condenser(.5uf metal case). Any help would be appreciated.
FYI, if you are restoring one of these, don't forget to replace the buffer cap located across the the input of the transformer (part number 30-4381 .01uf. I used a sprague 1600 volt unit for this. Replacement requires you to take apart almost all the wires and caps in the vibrator supply to get access. This means removing all the screws to remove the transformer and lay open the vibrator socket. Lots of fun. Enjoy.
