Another project - Philco Tropic 42-788
#28

Thanks, Chuck! Icon_biggrin

Here's what was accomplished today.

First, I finished restuffing the three-section electrolytic.

Once that was done, I reinstalled the rebuilt capacitor base back onto the chassis.

The next photo shows both electrolytics back in place, as viewed from under the chassis:

There isn't enough room to put the metal cover back over everything...but there is *just* enough room to place a paper cover over it all.

This cover actually was taken from the single 40 uF electrolytic. That capacitor now has a different (newer) cover over it, removed from a CDE cap, which can be seen in these photos.

Now, with the covers in place, you cannot tell that these electrolytics were ever touched:

More to come...
