found a 1960s Philco Portable TV today at the Antique Mall!

I was planning on doing so, If the 4 capacitors near the vertical stage are the only ones I have in my stock without having to put in an order then that's all I can do for the time being.[/QUOTE]


Okay . However, before removing the other caps, take care to note the data from each capacitor and change them one by one at a time so as not to mislead you and especially not reconnect the wrong way. some also have a degree of heat to meet. I suppose that you know what i write lol . [/QUOTE]

Well one of the capacitors near the vertical output/amplifier stage is a 1600 volt capacitor which is one I will have to order (they have 1600 volt orange drops over at AES but they're over $1 a pop, but thankfully there's only one that's needed in the entire set) the rest surprisingly enough are less than 600 volts (between 100 and 400 volts, with one or 2 600 volters in there out of the 10 or so capacitors in the whole TV set not including the electrolytics.)

Anyone have in their junk TV parts pile a fine tuning gear for a UHF Tuner for an old Philco TV from either the late 1950s or early 1960s? It would look something like the part pictured below. mine broke somehow and I'm not sure how it broke but I was working on the TV today and I just noticed that the plastic fine tuning gear for the UHF Tuner was broken in two and I can't glue it back together because it doesn't fit on the turret properly because I think the plastic might of shrank and caused it to break.
I believe that the Philco Predictas used the same kind of UHF tuner as this Philco Townhouse used so if anyone has a junk Predicta that had a UHF Tuner on it that they could check I would really appreciate it and I would pay for the part.
