PHILCO MODEL 111
I put new resitors all new caps some new tubes and power cord . Some reason keeps blowing electrolytic cap .
The one in big condenser block from #3terminal to #10 terminal The cap is a 4,7uf@450 volts .Has another one from #3 to#9
it works fine. Radio still plays but still has the hum. because of the electrolytic cap keeps blowing. help.
