I have a 49-1401 that has been recapped, resistors checked good, and it plays fine throughout the dial. However, it has the tell-tale signs of dreaded silver mica disease. My question is, can anyone tell me what value mmfd caps to use in place of the mica plates in the two IF cans? The schematic lists the ohm values for the coils themselves, but not the mica capacitance. Here's a link to the schematic at Nostalgia Air:

Many thanks.

Give the tuner a good wash in Dawn and hot water. Then set tuner in a plastic container and cover with vinegar let soak ...David — 12:53 PM

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM

I have been playing the radio for a while now and doing well. Turned it on today and all I got was a whole lot of noise....dconant — 09:39 AM

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM

Just forget this number, it is useless anyway. Simply proceed with your project.morzh — 10:08 PM

My $0.02 is that it is a misprint. I tried to look up the value for the similar 84 and 37-84, and ther is no resistance...MrFixr55 — 09:51 PM

Thanks for the quick reply! Hmm...well that's good, so what am I seeing that's 1042 ohms on the schematic for the pow...Mike L — 08:46 PM
