Philco 144
#1

Hi, This is my first major recap job. I've had this radio for over 25 years. It was left for dead in a wet basement. Made new cabinet for it way back when, it always played fine until recently. I've got all the cap values worked out except for the tone control 30-4188 (.07uf, .015uf, .01uf ) . The condenser block 30-4167 (.25mfd X 3, .05mfd X 4) Cannot find any voltage ratings for either. By the way it still does play but has developed a hum, so no more playing till its repaired. This is my first time on the phorum. Thanks for any help. Don H.
