Philco 60 restoration
#11

Not to self: link to the 60 evolution article

https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...-model-60/

So, I found out mine is at least Run 4 as, while rebuilding the big tin capacitor can, I found 5 capacitors, and the first 3 runs have 4.

The can, cut off from the wires is this:
   

Taken apart:
   


Caps inserted:
   
   

Then they are potted around where the wires go through the front wall and the can assembled.
   


I did not mark the wires as the caps have different values, and the two, that are the same, are interchangeable.
The values are in uF:
0.1
0.1
0.047.
0.22
1

(I subbed 1uF for 0.5uF, as this won't hurt anything, part of the power filter, and if anything, will improve filtering).

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.
