First Attempt At Recap
I have a 1952 Philco 52-T2151. I have received a lot of good advice since I first started asking questions about this set. I don't know why but I have put off recapping this set. All bad tubes have been replaced and with the help from everyone here a suspected bad yoke was replaced. I get good sound but the picture isn't quite there yet. I have no doubts that a recap would get this set up and running but to be honest I am intimidated by the prospects of putting one incorrect capacitor in and messing everything up.
What is the best way to replace all of the caps? Maybe two or three at a time? Is there a pattern I should follow like starting from one side and working my way over to the other side? I want to get this set going and I am aggravated with myself for avoiding "possibly" this last step in this restoration. I have the sams photofact that shows the layout/ item # for all of the caps. I keep looking at the chassis just sitting there, waiting for new caps. Is it as complicated as it looks? Advice please!
