model 20 hum (detector circuit?)
#42

(10-29-2015, 06:31 PM)radiohenry Wrote:  Hi Tubesforme,
    I would like to suggest reviewing the rebuild of the filter block. I suspect there in lies the problem. Certainly it can be rebuilt using electrolytics  however the original did not have electrolytics or if I recall correctly .22uf.
  The filter block used two 1.0 uf , one 1.5 uf and one .13uf and if I read this correctly pin #1 was the common ground.
  On the last 20 that I rebuilt the filter block I removed the old components and using non electrolytics wired all the components inside the old can to the terminals indicated on the filter block diagram . When I finished replacing all the other caps and resistors it played like a new radio.
   Just my thoughts after I was fortunate to have an excellent experience in the rebuild of a model 20.
                                                    Good luck,
                                                             Henry

Henry,  I did not use electrolytic's. I used the original values and they were all new Metalized Polyester rated at 630V. The filter uses two 1uf, one 1.5uf and one .13uf (1-.1 paralled with 1-.033) The 1.5uf is the AF supply filter and yes it has been changed twice. I would never use electrolytic"s to rebuild a capacitor that originally used paper type.Tubesforme
