rebuilding tone control block
#5

Thanks Terry.. I was actually going to try that. I guess being from a modern era.. I've never really been very satisfied with the 2 to 4 tone choices on the old radios. seems to me the choices are bright, muddy, muddier & talking with your hand over your mouth. I'll have to get me one of those Zenith's with the RadioOrgan tone controls one of these days.

The caps I put in there were 400 volts.. but I have some 1600's on order. I read on the antique radio forum, somewhere, that when you have caps connected directly to the plate of the output tube to use 1600 volt or better, because of possible spikes from the plate of the output tube. I figure the 400's are ok for testing. The 3 conductor cloth speaker wire I ordered from Radio Daze is on back order... Boo.. so the new caps will probably show up before the wire does. I Should've gone with my original plan to just braid the brown cloth speaker wire like the original. I just didn't have enough to do it. Although, I may end up doing that anyhow, as the hole the wires go through is very narrow. my luck will be that the cloth sleeve won't fit.
