Dear Friends,
Thanks for all your help so far,
I am restoring a 1942 Philco Transitone radio and am in the recapping phase of the operation. I've got most of the capacitors figured out but there is one large ,hybrid looking, electrolytic capacitor, 20 mfd ( philco p/n 39-2382 ) that has two wires on one end (one red, one yellow) and a black wire one the other end that has me stumped. What kind of capacitor is this and how do I find a replacement? Thanks for your help. You can email me at: waltdavis777@rocketmail.com . Walt
