Aerovox Dry Electrolytic Capacitor
#7

Yes, (95) belongs there Icon_rolleyes

I've rebuilt a few Mystery Control Philcos, and I used new electrolytics and the radio worked well. However, I think if I had another one like this to work on and was a set I was going to keep, I would use one of the Solen "Fast" polypropylene capacitors from Antique Electronic Supply. Yes, they are expensive, but I've heard nothing but good things about these caps...install them once and they will outlast any electrolytic.

The 15 uF Solen would be a good substitute for the original 16 uF electrolytic.
