I'm embarking on restoring a pre- war Pilot brand radio.
It has a massive double HT filter cap in the back, along with many other capacitors that look a bit aged.
My original plan was to replace the HT caps and many of the others (esp wax) with those yellow polyester ones from RS before powering up. I don't want the set to go 'bang' and take out other components.
But, the advice on a certain FB forum is not to do any precautionary replacements but just power the thing up and fault find from there.
What are the thoughts on here? I trust you guys more than the random 'experts' on FB!
