Restoring a Philco 49-1280

Hi Eric,

I uploaded some hi-res images of that cover here

Thank you for the pics, I've saved them for future reference if I try and make one.

I need to get off my butt and finish this set, I'm pretty much done except for the Phono.

You're welcome.
I'm starting to order caps for mine (15 in all !) and am having a little trouble finding the right ones.

What did you use for the 22uF, 33uF and 47uF 475v caps?

I bought mine from Justradios: http://www.justradios.com/

They have a selection of 500 volt axials, the 20, 30 and 50 mf will work fine or you could up a little and go with 30, 40 and 50.

Thanks! I'll go with those too.
