Philco 70 restoration attempt - singing now.
#24

Today spent a whole lot more time than it should be to gut the two electrolytics.

Oh, Geez! The first was a real bear to get the guts out but then the cleanup was quick.
The second (same exact cap) allowed very quicly to take part of it oiut (the cylinder separated in two) but the taking out the rest was a real b...ch.
Usually the aluminum caps are not that bad at all.

Will restuff them tomorrow, I cannot even look at them anymore.
Once done, the restoration of the output tube with the new panel will be the last piece of the puzzle (oh, and of course putting the tuning cap back) and then....you got it, power up.

5-pin tube panel, come to papa! Come quick!
