Speaker replacement question
#3

Chas

Not sure I understood what humbucking coil has to do with extra 20% of the output capacitor, but I wholeheartedly support the outcome: yes, when using a [power resistor (which should be more or less the same as the DC resistance of the Field coil), the output capacitance should be increased compared to the sch value to compensate for the lack of the reactance.

What I do not understand is the values of those capacitors, the o\first C24 SAYS 400mfd, the second C25 says 500mfd. Considering the "mfd" at the time stood for Microfarad, this is a bit excessive. Or I am not reading it correctly. Given the 80 rectifier tube.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
