Philco 48-1274 motorized tuning problem
#1

Good morning, I recently got a Philco 48-1274 radio/phono for my Philco radio collection that has the motorized tuning unit and I'm now restoring it. The issue is that while the motor that runs the tuner presets is working fine the motor for the bandswitch just hums when I push any of the band select buttons. I noticed on the AC motor there is a 30 MF capacitor across the windings and I suspect it may be bad (the motor and gear train moves freely) It runs on 24VAC and it appears to be a special cap. Does anyone know where I can get a cap like this? Thanks and have a great day! Ken
