Default Re: Capacitor identification.

Wattage info for dogbones attached - apparently info is from a 1936 publication.

I don't think I'd faff around, though - just use modern 2Ws all round. They won't look particularly retro, but the 2W size looks better than the tiny modern 1/2 and 1W resistors. Look on Farnell UK's website.

If you want/need to go down the retro route, you'll find info on YouTube for faking dogbones by moulding resin putty around modern resistors and painting the result.

Similarly, the paper/wax caps are usually quite easy to gut and restuff with smaller modern caps.

Replace your components one at a time and take plenty of photos before and during your working - you'll be surprised how often you have to refer to them. DAMHIKT!

Let us know how it goes.

Cheers,

Frank
