Re: My first valve radio project - Philips 462A
I just want to say - please be careful. If you have an isolating transformer then now is the time to put it to use. Even then, give the HT+ voltage the utmost respect. It may be present in places you don't expect, even the tuning capacitor. I don't have the service info so I can't check but you will want to get that before you dive in.
The black caps are probably Hunts branded and I don't think I've ever found one that didn't need to be replaced. They are probably worse than the yellow 'waxies'.
You may already know about the safety concerns but no harm in being told twice, as my father used to say.
You'll get plenty more advice here but I just wanted to touch on safety given that there were no other posts at the time of writing.
Good luck,
Jon.
