mute philco 19 or 89 or all between
#21

Do you mean you found numbers on each of the caps inside the metal can?

Don't worry about those. Just replace the caps, following the schematic so that you install the correct ones and that they connect to the proper places, as Warren said.

I've seen two digit numbers on old paper caps that I have pulled out of bakelite blocks before. I don't know why they did this. Only someone who worked at Philco in 1933 would know, and they aren't talking...dead men (and women) tell no tales. This isn't worth losing sleep over.

As Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would say in this situation, "It doesn't matter what those numbers mean!" Icon_wink

Now, confused1, how about those photos? Please?
