Ok,
Here is my first post about my first restoration, you folks have answered a ton of foolish questions, SO... one more won't hurt.
I have bought a model 60B, 1934, if my research is correct, not bad for a $5 yard sale item. I have researched some schematics and have a basic understanding of the components.
1) i have questions about the capacitors, from my research the 30-2024 is a 8 mfd, 450 volts, and the suggestion is to use a 10mfd, 450 volt as a replacement.
2) the second capacitor is a 30-2025, and the values i have found so far is has the same values as the 2024. Why the difference in part numbers? Also this 2025 cap had two wire soldered to the terminal in the center, where the 2024 only had one wired soldered the the center terminal.
3) the capacitors had a cardboard sleeve around them, it looks like that would insulate them from the bracket that held the capacitors in place to the chassis. With only one terminal on each cap, both in the center, where would the ground or other wire be?
What do you think? Am i seeing the right?
