I found myself a Philco 620 at a flea market. I'm begining restoration. It seems to be in decent shape, but it appears someone had bypassed the the elctrolytic cans with orange cardboard "Atom capacitors" at some piont.
I've restuffed the one can with a (16mf @ 450v), but the other can has me puzzled. The schematic I found shows it should be a multi-section can (8mf -8mf @???). I have two 10mf @350v available to use, but how can I tell if 350v is sufficeient.
I'm still learning to read schematics, but the part listing doesn't indicate the voltage value. Can any one advise please?
