removed cap, lost radio on my 41-608
#5

Welcome to the Phorum!!  If you are interested in vintage radio restoration, take some time to read first.  Here's a start but there is lots of info in this Phorum, the associated PhilcoRadio.com site and on the web.  A place to find parts is here http://www.philcoradio.com/resourceb.htm .  If the radio has not had the wax and electrolytic caps replaced, it would be good to do so as they will likely fail with continued use.  As to the radio working before you jumped the #56 cap but not after, you could replace the cap with a new one and see if the radio recovers but I'd replace all the caps and at least check the resistors and replace those that are > 20% high.  If it doesn't recover....others will be better at troubleshooting the radio than me.
