Another project - Philco Tropic 42-788
#21

Many of the caps and resistors have now been replaced around the volume and tone controls.

[Image: http://www.philcoradio.com/images/phorum...88_015.jpg]

I can't replace any more components in this section until I get the electrolytics restuffed and reinstalled, as one of the caps goes over one of the electrolytics and I need to leave the terminals clear until everything is hooked up to them...only then can I place components in the way of the electrolytics.

So...I know what the next job has to be on this radio...
