Capacitor Terminal Color Code Identification Needed For 1935 Philco 116X Console
#1

Hello Everyone,
I have a 1935 Philco 116X radio console with the 116-122 chassis and I am seeking identification for the terminals on the can that contains four capacitors. The values are 3uf, 1uf, 1uf, and 2uf and the colors marked on the terminals are white, yellow, and two blue. I am sure that the two blue ones are 1uf but I would like to know what the values are on the terminals marked yellow and white. Any information would be appreciated.

Hello, I'll try not to confuse you.
Looking at the schematic # 83 multiple can electrolytics.
If you follow the wires from each terminal the 3uf cap will be connected to the primary of the audio transformer and also a 70,000 ohm resistor #89 and a 7,750 resistor #100.
If you can trace that out you will know what colors are.
The 2uf cap should be between a 10,000 #98 and a 30.000 #97 resistors.
You will have to trace the wire to respective locations. they won"t likely be close to the can terminals.
Hope this helps.

Thank you KCMike. That is the information I was looking for. The schematics online for the radio are barely readable and I needed someone to help me out. Have a great day.

This schematic might be better.
Just scroll down to your model.
