Re: Baird T5 restoration project.
Hi David,
that's looking good.
The original resevoir for the HT was a wet electrolytic of the bolt through type.
See the picture of the one found in the T5 that I restored many years ago, I was able to restuff it. Though it was a pain to open up as basically it is like a giant finned heatsink inside.
The HT smoothing caps were of the dry type, in a green cardbaord box, as in your T23.
Of course the T5 that you are restoring had been overhauled just after the war, so many of the original caps have been replaced. Those post-war replacements are still very much part of the set's history though.
Cheers
Andy
