Hi All;
EricS, first welcome to this restoration part of the group..
The Part in Your second picture is a Coil, which May be Bad, Can't tell from the picture, but the crack doesn't look good..
Second, most Round Paper Caps can be restuffed, as what is available now days is much smaller in size.. The Square Retangular Brown objects are Mica Caps, and usually don't need to be replaced, unless they are in a high voltage circuit and even then most of the time they are ok.. But they should be check like the rest of the Caps..
Replace ALL Electrolitic Caps before Power is applied and All paper caps need to be replaced..
THANK YOU Marty

Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM |

Hi OSanders,
Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM |
