Hi guys,

I am re-stuffing a black box for the Philco 80 JR I am restoring. I cant seem to find a part number with values for 3793-R. The block (Part number 3793-R) ties into one section of the power transformer and wire wound resistor. Pre run #5 sets had two separate black boxes that contained .01 mfd in each one), I have run 7. After run #5 both blocks were replaced with a single black box that has a substitute .015 section combined with (#32), part 3793-R.

Does this mean that there is a .01 mfd and a .015 mfd in the black box or are they twin .015 mfd's. If it is a .01 and .015 I don't know which lugs to tie it into?

Thanks for your help, after this block restoration I will be ready for a first power up, so I am anxious to figure this out so I can fire her up tonight!

Thanks for your help.

Jon
