Ecap help
#9

One of you radios I worked on last summer had that.

Just trace the wires.
The caps are likely to be 20uF and 10uF, if the radio is an AA5 set without doubler rectifier.
The voltage rating can be 250V as there is no step-up transformer.
The max you could get fom 120V is 168VDC before you load it.
Once loaded it is much lower.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
