Philco 46-480 Electronic Restoration
#46

Thank you, Richard! I am using KiCAD for the schematic and PCB design.

I started to consider a PCB for the new C100 A/B bakelite capacitor, but then I had an idea. What if I were to get a three-lug terminal strip with a common central lug, such as this?

   

I could mount it to the chassis where the old bakelite capacitor has been removed, and then solder the two new safety capacitors to it. Schematically, here's what I need to do.

   

This would be very simple with a terminal strip. Additionally, I don't feel that I need to over-engineer this one with a PCB. The entire system is mounted to the underside of the chassis, and there is only one screw to connect the grounded connection to the chassis.

Well, my personal opinion:

If you miss the backelite, it is OK
If you do have the existing backelite, it is a waste of effort.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Are the bakelite capacitors allowed to stay in place? I suppose that's my only concern.

A popular practice is to restuff them with new capacitors.

This is a thread I wrote, it is in "Shop talk" here.
