Electrolytic Capacitor for PHILCO 41-290
#1

OK, I have replaced all my capacitors in my Philco 41-290. Piece of cake until I came to one of two electrolytic capacitors. I relpaced the one with standard axal leads with a 12 mfd eleccap. No problem. The other electrolytic cap(part no 30-2475) is more challenging. It has a black lead out of one end and a seperate blue and a seperate red lead out the other end. I think I I have to use two elec caps of 20 and 10 mfd. The problem is I don't know how to wire these. Do I tie the two neg ends together and attach to the black wire? If so, then what about the positive leads-does one go to the red and one to the blue? If so, which one? Can somebody help with a description or better yet a drawing? Thanks much for all your help in advance.

Happy New Year! BTW, a wives tale says that whatever you are doing on New Year's will mean you will be doing much of the same thing through out the year!

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM

Maybe this is starting to make some sense in my hard head.  Is this why the wire in question was not in the great Ron Ra...georgetownjohn — 04:34 PM
