Philco 60 restoration
#10

Rich

Yes, I use hot glue. Used to use colorless; then decided brown looked better.
I remember Ron said a t some point there was no problem potting over film caps, but I still protect them with a fishpaper cap on tom and a couple of small pieces on the sides. This will not prevent the hot glue from getting to the cap 100%, but it will be small amount, while the layer on top and around will be sufficient to fix everything in place and pot it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
