116X bakelite block question
#3

Hey Morzh,

Thank you for the quick reply.

First of all, I believe you're right about # 102. One lead appears to connect to the filter choke.

Just to complicate things, I looked underneath the chassis and found even more confusion. Someone's been busy in there. Bakelite part # 82 has been replaced. If you recall, the parts list shows # 82 and # 102 have the same part number, 6287-DU. "Someone" took a bakelite block, number 4989-DG, scratched that number out and scratched 6287-DG onto the side. The big problem is that the "G" in this part number means that the mounting screw grounds the bakelite block to the chassis. One of the block's capacitor wires is attached to this bolt's metal tab and is grounded to the chassis. The original part number, 6287-DU is an ungrounded block, which means the mounting screw is not grounded. The "U" in the part number means it's UNgrounded.

The only thing I can guess is that the parts list number is a misprint, or the replaced bakelite block is incorrect and the capacitor is miswired.

I've taken some pictures of this but I'm going to have to do some research on how to post them.

I know this may be somewhat confusing and I'll try and post some pictures.

Thanks for your help.

Tom
