Philco 50-920 tube type radio repair complete job part 3

[mattkoser]

Great series, Chad.

I've restored just shy of 300 tube radios. When I replace caps, I always write down the value of the cap, and then assign it a number (1, 2, 3, etc...). I then take a sharpie marker and write the "cap number" on the old cap (while it is still in the set) and write the number on the new cap. I also take the sharpie and just make a small mark on the junction point, so I can quickly reference where the cap connects to. It makes it easier for ME to make sure that it is correct

man I learn alot from watching this, I just replace all the caps and hope it works, you have a much better understanding of how the circuit actually works. I hope to be as knowledgeable as you someday! at least I have good soldering skills like you ^^

Thanks for all the effort that went into explaining your work in such great detail.

Looks like a neat restoration in progress. Good job.

I usually make my connection to the existing caps leads unless the it's too small to make a junction.

I sure do need to work on my soldering, its definitely in need of improvement.

Looking good, it should be up and running sometime real soon, of course this is probably going to take awhile.
