[Boatanchors] Philco table radio

Thanks to all. The model number was abreviated by me and of course it caused
confusion. It actually is model 42-322. Thanks again for all the help.

| Philco did use the year in some of their model
| numbers.  However, those are something like 38-15
| (made this one up although it may be a good number!).
| Therein the 38 indicates the model year.  But, on
| those with just a number, the year is not indicated.
|
| I normally use 400 volt capacitors since they work in
| about any receiver.
|
| Use a 450 volt capacitor for the electrolytic.  They
| are cheap from Mouser.
|
| The mica capacitors are in the same range as the paper
| capacitors.  However, I seldom have to replace any of
| them.
|
| Good luck on the redoing.  I just got through a few
| minutes ago repairing an RCA 6T5 (circa 1937) for a
| customer.  Was just going to write up the bill when I
| decided to check my E-Mail!

| separates actually) but again I have no idea what
| voltage to select.
