RCA Victor T-55 AM radio
#12

All, Started to take apart radio. Since the IF transformers wires were falling apart I started with them..

Notice the bare wire where all insulation flaked of.. I measure the windings and they measured as in schematic right around 21 Ohms.. But when I tried to measure the Trimmer cap on top it didn't read on my meter. I am using a Wavetek Cap meter CM20A that I had laying around.. It measures caps find when I hook one up to it But will not measure the trimmer.. Unfortunately I do not have any other trimmers that I can try it on.. Am I doing something Wrong?? The IF is out of the circuit..

Both sides or both Caps read the same. I haven't pulled out the other IF yet. Can both caps really be Bad??
