I am reforming the first one. I found the article on reforming the exact caps I have. I am not following it directly as I do not have the dry battery and switch, but I am applying 180v ( film forming voltage for these is 160 to 200V) via 100K resistor, and I create the voltage with a bridge rectifier from Variac fro isolation transformer.


The voltage on the resistor is about 27v and so far has settled. I hope it will go down. 0.27mA is lots of leakage.
PS. Started mo ing dow more.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
