Fairbanks Morse model 91
#18

Murf, sorry I was thinking and writing while you were. It is time to look at what you have and wire it to the schematic. The two positives together on the cardboard (replacement) is wrong. Why will it work,well these old radios could handle a lot of variations in values in certain areas. Not right but workable. What I would do would be to restuff or cut off the leads and add the necessary caps. For me I would find from someone a metal cap for the cardboard one and restuff it. I don't believe it is original but that is the hard road to travel. Many will install caps underneath on terminal strips. Just fine.
We all do things differently and all are OK for how the radio works. This one is just messed up a bit. You also need to find what and where the 4mfd can cap with no wire has had something put in to replace it. This is what makes undoing someone else's work a bit fun and frustrating. As you can see that cardboard cap is just not wired properly, needs to be replaced with proper wiring as indicated several threads above and the schematic. You also need to search and find out where that "100mfd" cap is wired in. We know it is not a 100. Perhaps you "100" is the other cap, the 16 or the other?
