Radio Bar 60 B Rebuild
#1

Hello All, I am having some trouble (like many of us I guess) trying to bring a 60 B back to life. This one is out of a Philco Radio Bar. I am about halfway through the recapping process. I completed the#20 Capacitor bank (and boy I hope I did this right-I have been following a similar thread on this forum for guidance) and I now have to do the Electrolytic cans and then the bakelight blocks. I don't want to go thru the trouble of cutting into the cans and restuffing them. Can somebody tell me exactly how to wire the new electrolytics and where the positive and negative leads should go? Any picture or drawings would be a great help.
Right now when I turn the set on, I get nothing but a loud hum or buzz through the speaker, with no change in volume when I turn the volume knob. I am hopefull that this is just due to the capacitors being in need of replacement. The other poroblem is that the dial lamp is not lighting up. I have a new lamp installed. Any ideas?
Once I get the radio playing and the weather warms up, I will be able to tackle the cabinet restoration.

Thnaks much for all your help.
