Progress update

I've got a little system down for restuffing these old paper caps. It's kinda fun to read the old labels. These were all made in my hometown of Chicago by companies long gone such as:

Ajax Condenser Co., Inc.
American Condenser Co.
Chicago Condenser Corp.
Gudeman Co.







Now for the HV cage. Phil's site has proven invaluable.





I'm not restuffing these caps. If anyone ever digs down into this box, so be it.
I didn't have a 120K 1W on hand so used a 100K and 20K in series.




I found one odd thing. The schematic shows two parallel 500pF filter caps as does Phil's restoration. While mine has a single 0.001uF on the opposite side of the filament
