Jackson Bell 62 Ecap questions
#8

Quote:P.S I see a note on the second schematic mentioning a dual section 1 uf block condenser being mounted on top of the chassis, at least in the second version where the filed coil is connected in the positive side of the B+ supply. This can seems to be connected in the same position as the two 1 uf caps are in the first version, one on the center tap of the #45 filament winding, and the other between the detector tube cathode and ground. Use poly film caps for this, but you will not need a pair of 630 volt caps to replace either of these as the potential is only 50 volts, so use a 150 or 250 volt, or whatever you can get that will fit in the can.

Unfortunately I did not understand much of that Arran. Icon_rolleyes

This is why I think it is version 2. There is the dual 1mfd block mounted on top on the chassis. Are you saying that I can just use 2 regular 1 mfd caps in this block?
I dont see any other filter caps in the chassis besides the dual block and the 2 cans. the schematic says that the 2 cans are 8mfd each, not 8 and 4 though.

I will have to look under the chassis to see if there are any more filter caps I may have missed.
