This provides protection to the radio if something should short out or draw too much current. Radios with extensive bakelite capacitors will cost additional. These capacitors are potentially unsafe and should be replaced. One capacitor in many radios is connected across the 115-volt AC line and provides RF filtering. Over time the values of the resistors change enough to affect the overall performance of the radio. Replace out of spec resistors as necessary for proper radio operation.Condenser block capacitors and capacitors built into components or a sub-chassis will cost additional. These are replaced with modern equivalents to improve reliability. Humming in a vintage radio is usually caused by the failure of the power supply filter capacitors. Replace power supply electrolytic capacitors.Restoration consists of replacement of all failed components, and those prone to failure. A restoration will replace capacitors that are prone to failure and update the electronics so the radio will be reliable and play for many years. ![]() A repair will only replace components that have failed in order to get the radio to play.
