Electrolytic question on a 40-180.
#8

The 40-180 I’m working on is exactly as Terry stated. The 12 mfd on my set has red and brown leads. Red goes to the 84 tube and brown is tied to single post terminal strip with connections to the 41 tubes through 470K ohm resistors as noted as well as the 150 ohm and 15 ohm resistors. There’s a connection between the 150 and 15 connecting to the 7C6 and the 1232 as noted. The 16 mfd connects to chassis.

Just curious, are you restuffing the old cans or just snipping and putting the new electrolytics under the chassis? I’m going to add a terminal strip for both mine and just disconnect the old. One strip will tie to chassis ground with the one for the 12 mfd not grounded to chassis.

Oh that sucks. It’s something easily overlooked. Hopefully it’s nothing more than a resistor! Ron462ron — 08:08 AM
