As I started to look at the 2nd IF transformer to take it out of the chassis I realized that it had 5 wire connections and the one I had taken as Green was actually the one labelled SL ( for slate I think). Yea, I know, I should have looked where the wire was attached but I figured green was green ... right... nope.
OK so now I can say that the correct Green (which is actually a white with green trace wire) to Brown reading is 65k ohms ( rather than 450k I reported earlier). That's still 38% too high. So the previous 450k ohm reading was for the SL to Brown. That might be reasonable since there are multiple current paths, I'll have to recheck when I get the can out of the chassis. Here's the diagram with the SL lead highlighted in grey.

Two Y-caps make sense if you use them from L/N to the chassis; this is only makes sense in the transformer radios...morzh — 10:11 AM |
