Need help ID'ing console ('29 Model 65?)
#16

OK, looking at the schematic the #1 goes to the condenser block; I edited the post to reflect that.

Good call on the other schematic. I just looked over the circuit; the 4 and 5 wires are going to the larger pins on the 80, which are the heater pins, I believe.

The original and replacement power transformers have slightly different outside construction. Am I going to need to fire up these transformers on the bench (removed from the radio) to verify their output voltages?
#17

... and that's what it was. The model 65 I have is a 25 hz model, with the #3 center tap going to the 1 and 2 pins. The replacement that I have is the other style, matching the schematics.

Good news is that the old xfrmer was fine, I just didn't have the right schematic in hand. And it's ready to go, I rewired it for practice this weekend before doing the other one. Debating whether to swap it back in or just rewire what's there now to be correct.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
