Philco 41-226 Filter Cap Ground
#6

That is a great help, Arran. I very much appreciate it.
Although it's a cramped little chassis to work in, someone put
a lot of forethought into its design. I'm expecting this little
6-tube radio to play especially well once I'm done with it.

It's clean and complete, and very original from what I see
(with the exception of the replaced filter cap). They'd not used the 60uf section of that cap, just the 40, 20 and the ground.

I'm lucky that the wiring is in good enough shape to recap it and do all my checks then try it out, without having to immediately rewire the whole set, as I had to do on the 39-30 I finished recently. A serious job, though it was a roomy chassis to work in. The results were great on that one, but whew, a lot of extra work. I'll replace a couple of easily reached wires for now in this one, and save rewiring for later. I'm trying to be careful not to disturb any more wires than I have to for now.
I'll see when I get to the last three caps in the corner beneath the 1st IF transformer (Item #25) - I'm betting I'll have to rewire quite a few things to get those three caps out, with insulation flaking off. Oh, well, still worth the effort. It's such a joy to bring one back to life.

Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Clarence
