14B Code 122 Mystery Tone Capacitor
#1

Received a 14B Code 122 that someone else had gone through. Double-checking all the capacitors lead me to the tone circuit. The schematic I have indicates that one of the capacitors in the tone circuit is a whopping 3,000 uF. The associated parts list shows "....." for the value of that capacitor. Any clue to what it really should be?

It's a typo.

3nF

The part 30-4073 contains a 0.05uF and 3nF caps.

They switched "m" for "mU".

And, well, at the time they did not have such capacitances.

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.

Thank you so much. That makes a lot more sense.

Oh...and for the "..." for the value.
The parts list says this:
64: condensers internal to 63.
63: Tone control 30-4073.

This could be found in the late Ray Bintliff's book "Philco Condensers and More".
Unfortunately they are rare, I bought one of the last off of Ray shortly before he left us.

Thanks again. I'll add the info to my personal archive.
