Starting on a 56 Philco Transitone

I pulled the main Filter Cap so I can restuff it, when I opened it up it was pretty obvious it was not doing it's job. I haven't seen many late 50's sets with a Cap this dried out!

I didn't have the exact values to install in the can so that'll have to wait until tomorrow when I can get some, Radio Shack didn't stock anything over 50 volts.

I did manage to kludge in some close enough Caps to see if it would work, and it does!

It still has very unstable sync but the squealing is gone and it has a nice raster and after I turned on the BT Modulator it had a picture too.
The Modulator is in the same room a few feet away so I didn't even have to hook up an antenna to the set.

There's still one more Can, not sure what it does but it's only one section, I'll do that one tomorrow also and see what happens.
