New Guy with a 48-1276
#1

Hi all, new guy here, and if you happen to be on the Philco group on Facebook, you may have seen my posts about my find. I just picked up a 48-1276 in really good shape cosmetically, but completely original where it counts the most. My game plan is to start with a re-cap, and the first parts order gets here Monday. I’ve asked in the Facebook group, and gotten some great answers, but not everyone does social media, so I’ll also ask here. C108 is a non polar, 30mfd, 30V motor run capacitor, and on the 4th chassis run, they added another 30mfd 30V across C108 in parallel, that makes a total of 60mfd at 30V. Has anyone had any luck finding a reasonably sized cap for this? I’m not above using a standard motor run cap with much higher voltage, but would rather use something a bit more manageable size wise. I’ve had some great ideas on the Facebook group, and just wondered if someone has found the “silver bullet” I’m looking for.
Thanks for your time, and I’m sure I’ll have more questions as I get deeper in this thing.
