Philco 42-345 Restoration/Repair
#19

Thanks, RodB and Vlad95,

I was mainly trying to figure out this capacitor to locate a replacement, Vlad thank you for reminding me of the blue capacitor which I almost forgot about being that I couldn't find it on the schematic. I was so busy trying to get the other unsoldered and forgetting the 2 were soldered to the same contacts. Seeing the blue capacitor and some taped wires and missing antenna tells me someone worked on it in the past. I do wonder if they started on it and gave up.

Vlad thank you for the link for restoring the old capacitor, I'm really not concerned about returning to original and wonder if I can just install the 2 capacitors separately. Which brings me to another question in regard to the blue capacitor it's 450V 8MFD, is having a capacitor with more MFD's bad for the radio? If the blue capacitor is ok to use, I can keep it connected and get another for where the green wire is connected from the old capacitor. Hopefully I am testing it correctly, but I have tried testing the old capacitor and not getting any reading.
