PHILCO 46-420 HIPPO - Gimmick on cap?
#2

... cut that rascal loose and forget about it!! Just make sure your correct-value cap is replaced point-to-point and never worry about those weird connections overwrapping the old style paper condensers! I have dis-regarded that old theory many times now, and never any probs in a re-cap job!! I read somewhere a long while ago, those old "wrapped by 1 lead condensers" was done so for "shielding" of the old paper type condensers. "?" WHY !. oh well, new modern type replacement caps are far beyond that old theory now. Personally, I think some early techs on the assembly lines were "too lazy" to clip those extra long wires and "wrapped" them around the condensers instead? Just my thoughts!! Never had a prob getting rid of them in the past!! Randal (TxRockr)
