Restoring my 37-116. It plays now!
#45

I don't know what it is with this particular Philco's bakelite caps, but restuffing them was a pain.
First of the guy who repaired this radio ling time ago for unknown to me reason filled the rivets with solder and so the wires were stuck. And sucking out the solder starts the tar boiling.....

Except three caps out of seven the rest refused to jump out of the backelite shell; my blunt allen wrench I use to push the tarred caps out would just go through the tar. Different tar? The worst ones were the 110pF caps...oh my.

I am doing one a day. Yesterday I finished the last one.
Today started on tubular.
Once I did that I realized that some caps I ordered are radial not axial and they refuse to fit. Geezzzz!!!

Most resistors though are in a remarkably good shape. Few are about 20% off. Weird - same two resistors, 51K, one is 51K, another - 64K. WOnder why.
Maybe different temperature regimes where they are?
