Gentlemen,
I am new to this forum and been with my radio hobby about 2 years and enjoying it more everyday.
I just began working on a Philco 116-121.
I could use a schematic and a parts list??
Is there a code I could follow on the paper capacitors??
They just list a part number with no values, i.e. 30-4024, 30-1034???
Thanks for any help!!

Are paper caps tubular? Those usually do have values and voltages on them. Some could be found here.

Have a look and see which one is your chassis.

Then, if you need, better clearer copies at a very low cost contact

Justradios.com has capacitor kits as well instead of buying them individually

Thanks a million gentlemen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate the Philco code page for the fixed paper capacitors.
All they had on them was a Philco part number, this really helped with the values.
The schematic and parts list is quite helpful also.
Thanks again,
Matt

Welcome to this site, Matt. The 116 tombstone is one of the best table sets out there.

Strongly advise:

1. Take a good look at the different areas on this site. MANY questions can be answered here!!

2. Re-stuff the "bakelite block" capacitors under the chassis. The blocks also serve as "tie-down points" for the wiring.
