Thanks. I have read some of them, but a few are buried. I'd like to order them and replace them one at a time. I am going to have to cut three of them out to read them. The schematics are a help but the parts list would be nice to read the value and voltage rating as a confirmation. The parts list are usually a good back up since you can read them easier.
I am looking at other Zenith radios of the same vintage that do have parts list and kind of verifying the voltage that way. I am sure folks that know this stuff can just look and order the right caps. I am trying to be careful.
The electrolytic-caps are 4 in 1 "Can" I am going to have to do surgery on that. I can see the values on the "Can" and schematics.
One of the wax caps has no markings. It must of got hot or something? I am pretty sure from the schematics I have the value for that one.
I am just a little paranoid about making sure I have the right values. I think if I stick with 500-600 volt caps I'll be good. The electrolytics are only 150 V and one is 25 V. Since I have to STUFF THE CAN I can't over kill there, because 4 have to fit in the can.
THANK YOU! Great advice.
