Model 50A rebuild
#19

After I had cleaned the Capacitor and reassemble, then I checked the vanes and put the VOM on it, and made sure that the Stationæry vanes were isolated from the moving vanes.

After reassembly and doing some troubleshooting one of the things I did, was put the vom on the variable capacitor and discovered that both the stationary vanes , and the moving vanes are connected electrically ie they are both grounded.


I checked the Internet and the electrical engineers say that some circuits have both sets of vanes ground out And other circuits are designed to have the vanes isolated from each other.

Which design should this Radio have?
