All,
I purchased my first Old Time Radio and working on restoration. I have already started replacing the old capacitors and ordered a new audio output transformer, Hammond 125C. The speaker is measuring out at 4.6 ohms. In looking at the chart for wiring this up I am a bit confused as to the terminals I need to connect to for the 3 wires. As a side note it has been 30 years since I have worked on electronics so I am trying to clear out the dust in the brain.
Any incite or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Original symptoms are that when powered on volume was very low and would not change. Prior to powering on for the first time I looked at the caps, all original but not leaking, wires where still pliable, and no dust in cabinet or on electronics. This has been kept in a fairly safe environment here in Colorado.
Thank you for your time and input on this effort!
