Wow! Didnt mean to stir up a fuss round here at all! All my point was, is I dont find spending time rebuilding bakelight blocks one of my favorite things to do even tho I could if I wanted too. Personally, I like to leave my recapping jobs well marked and fully visable using terminal strips for future generations of restorers to be able to identify components without having to remove screws and look inside , or have to purchase a copy of "Philco condensers & more" to get a recap job done. I do admire all that keep "originality" to radio sets, ( nice Philco 90s), but I dont think anyone other than us techs really care much what the "under chassis" looks like, and it is our preference if we care to make it easier in the future for someone else to keep these sets working by easily identifying componets. I see plenty of confusion posted here on this forum by "newbies" trying to decipher those old philco part #s to make my point valid. Now if were talkin early A-K breadboards, I would say keep em all original, otherwise, I dont see the point of restuffing (mystery) caps as a good practice personally. I usually restore about 25-30 vintage radios for customers per yr. I like to be able to see what Im working on, and Im sure future generations that recap my past works will be appreciative of my taking the "mystery" out from under many of the vintage Philco chassis. Reckon? Just a thought. Peace Ya'll, ol TxRockr
