Philco 60B Capacitor Question
#4

Thanks guys,
It doesn't even give me enough time to check current draw. I turn on the variac, and as soon as I roll the volts up to about 90, the 46 electrolytic starts smoking. I was concerned that I might have it in there backwards. I've tried two different E-Caps in there, from two different batches... and both smoked. So, hopefully, you guys are right and there is a leaky cap elsewhere that's leading to high voltage. The other possibility is that whoever replaced the electrolytics screwed up the wiring somewhere... and I sure hope that's not the case. Everything looks right, but I guess I'll find out..

I've installed a fresh electrolytic in there, and I'll recap the entire chassis and check all the resistors before I apply power again.
