Hi, I do not really have a big question here , just some thing to pass along to others rebuilding Philcos... Working on 47-1230 found a "funny"
capacitor with two leads on one side. It was marked .01mfd 400vdc.
I assumed it was a dual package of caps. Wrong! One lead is just a wire through the package. Caused me to get my meter out when nothing worked. Putting a cap where the wire is blocks bias voltage to grid or screens on tubes where this wire was going . Once I replaced it with a wire things started working ! Thought I would pass this along as it is weird device. Maybe I am missing something here ? Why not just use a wire ? There isn't a space problem. All I can think is this cap was special for some other purpose and they had some left over ? Strange component !
