1948 Westinghouse Model 1821 (182) audio problems
#6

Quote:Check the speaker voice coil then the output transformer. Would be a good idea to replace the 5 paper caps and check resistors as you replace those caps. If not working then go back and double check  all your work. Good luck David


Thanks, I'll take a look at that, but I think the speaker is fine because I hear a low volume hum coming through the speaker meaning the speaker is working, its just not picking up any stations.

The only paper caps that are remaining are the two .05 MFD paper caps that are tied into the volume control/power switch and the other 3 are the .002 MFD 600 VDC paper caps (C29,C30 and C31) that are in the middle of the radio chassis. on a large terminal strip.

I've tested all of the IF and RF cans and they all seemed to have continuity, including the discriminator can.
