I have a new project 38-15
it has several caps (electrolites) 2 ea 16uf and a 8 uf. I will be looking to see where today. Just wondering if any one might have some modnotes that include these cap.

Look at where they are wired into schematically have added a pic of 38-15 in red is where the caps are the are electrolitic

The caps themselves look to be 1940-50 the work on the bottom of the chassis for that time looks right.

PICs
