There is an article in the latest issue of Antique Radio Classified(
www.antiqueradio.com) about placing a new capacitor inside the shell of an old one. Could this be done? If so, the old shell will keep the coil in it s present form.
I have seen this kind of thing in Philco radios, but not TVs.
Also, if you find out what the correct knobs are for the TV, I may have them. I have a box of NOS Motorola TV knobs from that era.
