Philco Canada 51A

Ron;
  Which capacitors do not have a manufacturer's name on them? Do you mean some of the paper capacitors do not? If you mean the one with the bright yellow labels that say "Type 484" etc., those are Canadian Aerovox capacitors.
  With regard to your last post about melting out the cardboard electrolytics, a toaster oven is definitely the way to go, I place any capacitor I want to melt out on a sheet of aluminium foil on the toaster oven tray, and then cook them at about 150-180 centigrade, with the convection fan on. As you have noticed they usually have this hard dark brown wax plugging the ends, which unlike the soft yellowish outer wax takes much more heat to melt, and when it hardens it becomes like peanut brittle. Fortunately the toaster oven method takes care of this, and the residue will clean off with lacquer thinner.
Regards
Arran
