Mike,
Thank you for the reply and for correcting the year on my subject. Little and Big Phil are indeed 42s.
The big, dumb mistake that I made was replacing an original black wire with a red one and a red one with a black one; I then relied on the colors to connect the capacitor the next day. Several lessons learned.
I did not want to replace all the paper caps only the ugly ones, but I will do so as maybe a bit of penance or in order to make it up to Little Phil.
Glad I got the values right. Thanks for the tips about power ratings. That's all mysterious to me. I do not know what "Y-rated" means, But I'm educable.
I'll check in when I get the repair work done.
Thanks again,
Tom Russell
