Hi all. I am new here, so hopefully i am in the right place. I have this Philco Lowboy model 96 that was apparently built and/or sold in Canada. It is is pretty nice physical condition, but when my wife plugged it in to see if it is working, it pops the breaker in the breaker cabinet. With the help of the Phorum team, they advised me that I need to look at replacing the capacitors at minimum. The team provided me with a schematic, but I don't see any capacitors listed. What am I missing? Are all components available for purchase? I would love to get this working! Thanks everyone ... Peter
