1933 60L Restoration
#3

Thanks for your response and information sir. So I removed the chassis from the cabinet and began checking it out. The obvious things I saw was a tear and hole in the speaker, not a big deal if the coils ohm out, and the missing electrolytic condenser. Someone has obviously been in this and made some changes. The condenser was replaced with two, one on the top and one underneath. Both old repairs based on the cap appearances. I also found a bare wire where the schematic calls out a flexible wire-wound 200 ohm resistor.


 The big wire-wound resistor tests good, and only four of the dog-bone resistors are testing bad, high. I'm going to try and replicate those and watched a u-tube video showing one way to do it. I got Steve's tools for helping to re-stuff the Bakelite condensers and plan to try and keep this looking as vintage stock as possible. I put an ad in the wanted section and hope someone will have a can I can get to re-stuff for the missing one up top.
I also see a cap and resistor that appears to have been added between the oscillator transformer and the 6A7 tube, reason unknown? This brings up a couple of questions from me:
1. when testing the antenna transformer and using my schematic and a post I saw from Ron to Crist, all my tests came back right on the money, except the one from 4 to "top". I'm not sure if "top" means the wire that comes out of the transformer and goes over to the tube top? If so, mine is open.

2. To test the Oscillator Transformer and the two IF Transformers, does anybody have a schematic that shows the pin numbers that relate between the coils? I have the one for the antenna trans. but it is not the same as the other three and it would be great to know vs. chasing the wiring to figure it out.

I'm going to load some photos once I get them sized up.

Thanks!
