Dear rsjsouza ...  There was no problem with you opening an 'old post', as I'm JUST answering you now, after 'another' year!! hahaha...  :-DD
I really appreciated your Video in your reply, and will view others too!!!  Thank You friend.  :-+

I've been off-line on the Forum for a long time, mainly due to my medical probs, but have a temp new lease on life, hahaha...
I intend to get back to my old Radio Projects shortly, after a grueling 2 years gap. Thank you, and others, again!
GlennSprigg:
To Wallace Gasiewicz ...   Yes, that is quite often done, for nostalgic 'looks' internally.  Including many other smaller (non-can)
capacitors, by stripping off the old paper (etc) outers, and re-fitting them over the top of 'new' Caps etc. !!  The only problem, is that
you should leave a note inside, as to what you have done!!, or the next person to ever 'work' on it will cut them out again!!   :palm:
rsjsouza:
Glenn, I wasnreally wondering what happened to you, but was afraid to ask...

Since the video was lauched I got to my attic to put a ~20m monopole antenna and the BX462A sings like never before - I just need to repaint its glass dial, but there is a person in Holland that has these things for sale.

Also, since the video I had a multiplication of "troubles" for restoration: one heavily modified Philips 614 and three all american five (Bendix, RCA and Emerson) :palm:

Hi RSJSouza ,

I just saw part 1 of your Philips BX462A video and will check out the other parts soon.
Hope you saw David Tipton's wonderful Rose Metal thermal fuse for his Philips radio transformer - see
around Minute 30 in his video -

Quadtech, thanks for your audience and I hope the videos are interesting for you (I tend to talk too much, sorry).
I will check the video you suggested. Thank you!
