Philco 118 - Cap 46 - Use Electrolytics or Film?
#5

Hi All;
Davemc, when I look at the schematic, none of the number 46 caps are going to the same place or line..
If you had the caps connected at four or five different places but electricially connected to the same part of the circuit, then you could add all of the caps together to make one larger cap..
But, as near as I can find only three of them and they are attached to different circuits, then "no" you cannot add all the caps together..
The ones at 300 and 350 volts, since they are by-pass caps can be replaced at a lower voltage than the one at 450 volts as Arran has already stated..
But, the 450 volt one needs to be replaced with as high of a voltage rating above 450 as you can get..
THANK YOU Marty
