Westinghouse WR-212
#1

Well, that's the one I bought to make a gift for my old man. With the "magic eye".

So I took the chassis out. As a minimum, the tuning cap belt is broken, so I've ordered one from Adamsradio - thank God for it. Almost every single radio is listed there. Bought various Zenith belts, now the WR-212, all listed by name, easy!

Well, started to look: someone tried to repair it some time back.

This is the schematic.

Now if you look at the caps, all the electrolytics are 8uf, 12uF or such.
Imagine my surprise: the guy put in 150uF-300uF-75uF.....yikes.
So, I think I have'em all, but good thing I am checking it.
Can't trust people nowadays Icon_smile Not with the caps.

Speaker was obviously repaired - some glue on the back of the cone and, for whatever reason, a piece of felt was put in between the cone and one of the frame spots. I wonder why....hopefully it sounds OK, otherwise more money goes to some Speaker shop.

Well, more will come tomorrow.

This is the radio.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
