I am elbow deep in restoring a model 59 and can't find any info on this particular bakelite block. I know the capacitor values. I just need to know the lugs each go to. I found info on 7762 but no B. Can some one help please.
thanks
Chris

Check Chuck's site(link above) and part way down the page he has:

CONDENSER TYPE 7762
Working Voltage 600

Part No. 7762-B

Lugs Used 1-3-6-8
Cond. Mfd. .001 1&8-6
Cond. Mfd. .015 3-6

and the pic, of course.

He might send a better link.

Nope, he won't. That's the link!

Here's a drawing. Hope this helps.

Sorry. My lame attempt at posting a photo failed. Looking at the drawing on Chuck's website, Your .001 cap gets hooked to pins 1, 8, 6. Your .015 cap hooks to pins 3 & 6.

The image link should have worked, but didn't?

EDIT: When posting images, be sure the "Disable BBCode in this post" checkbox is NOT checked, else instead of your image, the code will display instead.

Thanks everyone. I must have overlooked that. I could not find it on Chuck's site when I looked. Also the schematic says 0.0001uf. I am right in assuming I can replace that with an 0.0005 cap?

How good of a performer is the model 59?
thanks

Chris,
That's a .001 cap, NOT .0001!!!! A .0005 will be too small!

Ed,
Schematic must have a typo then. Will put in a 0.001 cap instead.
thanks

The schematic is correct (at least on mine) where it reads 1,000 uuF (pF). The parts list is incorrect in that it calls for a .0001 uF when it should be .001 uF, as Ed said. (.001 uF = 1000 pF)
