Croydon/Halson recap
#1

Hey all,

I found this Croydon radio with a Halson chassis. I have searched everywhere and cannot find it.
I did find the exact match chassis from online but no schematic.
Here is the schematic someone said would work. It has the same layout but the caps and resistors dont match up. And of course mine has the 25Z5 tube.

Results from Grillcloth.com

Tubes are 25z5, 43, 6D6 and 6C6. Hopefully i can find out something as the Ecap has 6 wires and 3 caps inside.
I dont need the schematic if you guys would know what caps to use depending on location.


Cap 1 has 2 wires.... A red wire going to pin 4 of the 25Z5 and a green wire going to a terminal strip continuing to the on/off switch. 


Cap 2 is connected to cap 1 with foil. Then there is a white wire going to chassis ground. 


Cap 3 has 3 wires. It has a white wire going to chassis ground, A blue wire going to pin 4 of the 6C6, and a yellow wire going to pin 3 of the 6C6 that continues to a resistor to chassis ground.


Sorry if this is confusing. Welcome to my life...
