Farnsworth AC-70 - mrmurr2003 - 10-17-2019
Along with my recap job on my Philco 38-12, I am going to recap Farnsworth AC-70. The dial glass has a chunk missing out of the upper right corner and I was wondering if there was a replacement out there for it.
RE: Farnsworth AC-70 - Radioroslyn - 10-17-2019
The short answer is no. Currently there is no replacements being reproduced.

Ok, thank you.

The longer answer is that you may be able to get a reproduction by contacting Radio Daze LLC. They make reproduction dial glasses and if you have most of the dial to send to them they may be able to make a new one for you. They are in the process of focusing their business on their graphics although I also read that there were some health issues with one of their designers that may slow things a bit. Worth a try.

Awesome, I will try that

Yup, that’s it.
RE: Farnsworth AC-70 - Patrick - 10-22-2019
Maybe they'd be willing to part it out?
RE: Farnsworth AC-70 - mrmurr2003 - 10-23-2019
Thanks for everyone's input. Caps arrived and I will start with this project. My first recapping so I hope to do it well and have a "hum-less" clear sounding radio shortly.
Afterward, I hope to sell it. Any info pricing and where to market would be greatly appreciated. Not in this to make money, just recoup what I got invested so I can get another radio to feed my "habit".

I found a capacitor with a rating of 0.05mF 600VDC! I thought that electolytics were all DC but the mF seems too small...can anyone shed some light?
