Capasitor block replacements, philco model 20
#11

For low value caps in the power supply I have found that in my experience the " solen fast caps" from AES are just fine and high quality. The first cap on my Scott 800B power supply was 4mfd. Lot of voltage and current. E-cap just got hot and then shorted. Not fun. Non polarized fast cap ran cool. Just my experience. I used them on my 1929 Fada, lots of room inside the giant tar filled block. I'm a fan of these caps for high voltage and low mfd values on old radios. A little pricey but you only need a couple. May not fit well in a "standard" cap can for your radio but if they are single or perhaps a double I suspect you can stuff.
Regards, Jerry

A link to 4 of them installed after removing a lot of ugly tar. As I recall 3 of the 2 or 3mfd and a 1mfd.
