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! |

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: |

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 - https://youtu.be/qdRkWhT-1ic |

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! |
