37-610 Restoration
#18

Hello all,
Please let me know if I can continue to post these types of questions in this section.  Again, I'm new to the Phorum and want to abide by the rules. Altho' I've been a service tech for many years this is my first attempt at restoring a vintage radio.

I'm really puzzled by the bakelite device shown in my attachment.  The schematic layout I have for this 37-610J shows this as ref.#59, which is a dual .015 line bypass capacitor.  But that is not correct.  The twin .015 cap block is at the other end of the chassis and is easily identified because the line cord attaches directly to it.

I'm not even sure the device in question is a cap. I thought it was a coil because it has a direct short across the outer terminals.  I believe the center terminal is just a tie point.

Anyway, I cannot find this device on the schematic.  One end connects to the plate of the 6F6, the other end goes to a tap on the tone switch. 

I've looked everywhere I could think of for the correct schematic and came up empty.  This particular radio has the rectifier socket on the power transformer. 

Hopefully, someone can point me in the right direction.  I'd be really embarrassed if this turns out to be an obvious thing.  Icon_redface
