Re: Philips 170A restoration
Well I'll leave the valves alone as they work fine although I do have some conductive paint but its grey ew. If need be I can always use that if the valves start playing up cheap alternative.
Tin foil so you just wrap a sheet of it around the valve loosely? Or do you need to push it down onto the conductive wire then just wrap?
Well thanks for the feedback on a regulator did not realise it would cause such a stir. Kinda took the original questions in another direction I'll choose my words carefully from now on me thinks.
Another question are those caps the 0.047uf ones coated in tar? As its definitely not wax. As I still have the original wax electrolytic in there which tested fine and no signs of degrading. Just curious? Not come across these types before.
Plus these what people call dog bone resistors are they just a smaller version of a wire wound? And what wattage are they? normally looking at size 5mm length by about 2/3mm diameter would they be around 0.5 watt?
Cheers Chris
