Crosley 52TA
#10

There is a method to my madness.

First, I took a ton of pictures from every angle possible, highlighting every section. Then I took more pictures as things were removed.

I also got the schematic from NA, checked accuracy and noted any differences. There is actually an extra cap and resistor not on the original schematic, but I penciled them in. This is not an overly complicated radio, about 15 individual wires on the tube pins, 9 caps and 10 resistors.

I have kept everything-- every wire, resistor, capacitor, coil, etc. and put it all in a safe place. I kept the wires to get proper lengths, everything else to verify replacements. I also left wires attached to large components like the IF cans and the tuning gang.

In another life, I used to repair fairly complicated submarine antennas. Bagging and tagging parts and careful documentation was SOP.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
