Atwater Kent paper cap markings
#1

hey guys, ran aground on something. Going through an AK model 708 and doing parts vs schematic checks and finding some wax/paper caps that have 3 digit markings on them.
One has 101 on it and another has 409 on it.
I would think that that's .0001uF and 0.0004uF respectfully.
Doesn't match the schematic values at all. ( I realize that there have probably been several production changes so there could be differences).
I plan on replacing these caps using the printed values on them and probably going to restuff the old ones if I can. A lot of work but I want this thing to be authentic as possible.
Done some internet research on this but not finding what I think is the right information.
Also, Haven't worked on any thing this old as this radio so learning about the old way of doing things.
Thanks.

Give the tuner a good wash in Dawn and hot water. Then set tuner in a plastic container and cover with vinegar let soak ...David — 12:53 PM

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM

I have been playing the radio for a while now and doing well. Turned it on today and all I got was a whole lot of noise....dconant — 09:39 AM

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM

Just forget this number, it is useless anyway. Simply proceed with your project.morzh — 10:08 PM

My $0.02 is that it is a misprint. I tried to look up the value for the similar 84 and 37-84, and ther is no resistance...MrFixr55 — 09:51 PM
