1936 RCA 5T
#26

Hi Mike, when I replace parts I do it one part at a time and I check the parts placement charts on the schematics/service manuals and I do all of that before soldering the parts into place.

I did have to replace one replacement part that wasn't even the correct value to begin with (it was an old replacement part from the 1950s) with one that was much closer to the original value but not the exact value as the original (I didn't have the correct value part in stock in my parts stash).

I never touched any of the mica capacitors (which would of affected the alignment for sure) just the paper caps.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
