Two Philcos
#8

I just rebuilt the big can capacitor on my 513. I was a little intimidated at first, but unlike the later cans this one was filled with wax and not tar. I popped it into my oven at 290 degrees for about 25 minutes on a tinfoil pan and the guts slid right out! One of the advantages of not being married is that you can do stuff like that and get away with it Icon_lol Actually, with the wax there was hardly any smell at all.
