Your cap must of been an replacement or a production line messup. My cap was not stamped in metal and values where higher then what's on cardboard tube. If have email i can send you the pictures of cap and my modification to make taking can off easier.
I did simular but cut ring off that pried up so can tack leads to can to hold together makes for quick reopen to replace caps in future just wick leads off side of can and can comes off
Good job yours was a challange mine was working on original parts when got it. Just replacing caps not the main can cap.
I found way to leave headphone jack on front cover feed the wires Overton instead of under speaker like they did, oh and neat trick clip leads close to terminal so not pulling on tabs. I learned that working on mine
I'm in process of restoring one of these an R600 chassis
Yes that's how I do it as well. You can put the new caps across the outside terminals as well if you don't know there value then just use a small trimmer cap to resonate then on what ever the If frequency is the remove the cap measure the value and place with fixed value caps. I've done this in the past and it works out well. Good luck with your restoration. 73. Paul.
What many don't know about Precision Apparatus and PACO is that they became part of B&K Precision. The old Precision RF generator, the E-200C, is the predecessor of the famous B&K E-200D, as well as several other pieces of famous test equipment. I found out a lot about B&K via a phone call to them when they quit manufacturing here in the states. I was thinking about buying them out, which was "three tractor-trailer loads full" of parts and dud equipment. I'm not sure who they finally sold it to, but it went for cheap. .
Marine Air Traffic Control (MATC). It makes sense, since they would have used this generator to repair ATC com. equipment.
Nice video! Subscribed.
Is this common in 30s, 40,s 50s radios? Or is it specific to a certain decade?
wow
Robertson screw head?
So silver Mica disease is when some of the ions from the silver migrate into the mica. Interesting.
I bought a 2022 Marshall 50 watt JVM amplifier for my guitar. And that's almost exactly the sound I was getting out of the amp when I turned it on after letting it sit for about a year. It took the engineer five weeks to figure out that it wasn't a tube or a resistor but a silver Micah capacitor that went bad. From what I've read those capacitors should last at least 10 years. Why the thing went out I don't know. In the 3 years that I had the amp it was hardly played. But now that the silver Mica capacitor has been replaced the amp sounds like brand new. The noise was so bad it sounded like 15 rabid raccoons fighting with a badger. 🙏😃🕊️❤️ That signal tracer looks like a good investment
Why can't the raccoons stop fighting. Whatever happened to the brotherly love amongst raccoons. What happens is, they start fighting and the whole damn amplifier falls apart. 🙏🕊️❤️
Also see: *Jim Burns,* he really tares them down. I keep plenty of 100pF CAPs around just for this problem. In frame, in frame! It starts arching.
I'm sorry, not a very skilled cinematographer. I get into what I'm doing and forget about the camera. I need a small monitor hooked up to the camera that I can keep an eye on my framing.
@@oldavguywholovesRCA - It happens.
GREAT VIDEO MAN THANKS FOR SHARING HOPE THE WIFE IS DOING WELL--@@!!
You have my thoughts and prayers
SORRY IT Didn't FOR YOU MAN YOU DID TRY GOD BLESS YOU AND TAKE CARE--@@!!!!
Epic! Got a 1470 coming in. Can feel the follicles falling out already. I do love the bk form factor. You could have a failing or dirty vr!
Nah, that poor scope was just to far eaten up with corrosion and the problem for me was the replacement transisters just weren't matched too good. I still want another scope like that.
Chin up ❤. Attitude will be a big asset in her ability to survive this with success. Stay positive 👍
Awsome! Thank you. I do a lot of restoration on old tube amplifiers and phonographs. and some antique radios. So now I have learned this and now learned to have patience , this is going to be a nice improvement on my work. Five Star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Video !! 👍
So, basically you're looking for leakage between the primary and secondary. I remember doing something like that when I worked for the DoD checking sonar cables with a Megger.
Only just found your Channel Sam Hello from Australia by the way you got a very nice neat work shop.
Thanks and welcome
Would it help if you used a tripod for your camera? Then you could have both hands free and the framing would remain stable.
It would help if I was educated more
Was PCB oil used in those old BB caps ?
I wouldn't think so, but always err on the side of caution if your not sure.
Bumble Bee caps had a Bad Rap!
The power cord retrierver was like the old Electrolux vacuum cleaners. As a young'n I would pull the cord out of mama's vacuum cleaner just to watch it fly back inside.
Praying for you and your wife and family.
do all the IF coils have silver mica on it, I have telefunken radio console, it is worth it to try to repair?
Not all of them, only the newer stuff from I guess the late to mid fifties on up.
How do you determine the value to use of the schematic doesn’t tell you
Guessing mostly but I've played around with them before and 100 pf seems to be pretty common.
I suspect the noise in my s38e may be caused by morethan bad mica but due to dirty power in the new, poorly sheiled wire. On the other hand, the volume is very poor.
Prayers to you, your wife and entire family.
The push by the US government to outlaw all incandescent light bulbs is a "trojan horse". 😒 They claim it's all about energy efficiency, a cleaner environment, and longer bulb lifespan..... But that is totally not why they're forcing these LED bulbs upon the American people. I believe their true intentions are more nefarious than people would like to believe. Not to mention they give me awful headaches..... 🤦♀️ And apparently I'm not alone in this. 🤷♀️
I have one just like it. Cool!!
Praying for you and your wife during this difficult time. All the best. Don
Some guy on fleebay in Florida is selling a nice clean remastered meter scale for your EV-10. Cost about $24 shipped. He says printed on quality paper but you would have to cut excess edges off to fit it on exactly. Steve
Thanks for that Info!
Praying 🙏 for you and your wife Sir. God bless!
Much appreciated
Hello my friend? if you just cut out like 50% of your bla bla bla bull chit you could have a great video! People want to see you repair old radios not listen to 30mins of bull crap i got this i got that bla bla bla! watch glasslinger videos he/she make great video with very little bull crap!!!
I completely agree with you on that. I have been trying to slack off on the yacking some.
Jajaja, It's funny to me that when things get difficult and you don't want the disaster to be seen, you forget to turn on the camera... Even so, your contribution is greatly appreciated, it is a pleasure to restore these giants of old radio. Greetings!!
I just dont want you to hear all my profanity ;-)
It wasn't worth the time?? That is a low-spec remote with poor audio and compression.
It was worth it to me because its what I wanted to do and it's sitting beside me running now in my office monitoring one of my 2 way radios I listen two.
They made these in the early 1950s. The EV10A differes from the earlier EV10S as the schematics are completely different and yours could have came with an RF probe with had a 9002 miniature tube in it. It allowed a voltage measurement of up 60 KV! Lazy Electrons has a site showing how he restored his EV10A. Prayers for your wife's speedy recovery Sam. Steve from IL
See: Jim Burns as well.
Prayers and Gods blessing on you both, looking forward to your restoration on this unit.
Precision Apparatus Co made instruments with odd combinations of tester functions. Take the Precision Model 612 tube tester. Not only does it tests tubes, but it also tests "condensers" (caps) and dry cell batteries. Prayers for your wife's quick recovery....
Is there a "medicine" for curing the disease?
There is but nobodies been able to figure out where the mouth is yet.
Prayers for you both.
God be with you.
I would never get a prying tool. My luck i would snap the 70 year old plastic of the transformer. Might as well just throw the radio into the wall.
I've done that too a few times
Praying for your wife for Jesus healing touch from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. We are asking for God to give you both the peace that passes all understanding as you walk through this time. May you sense His presence and His Everlasting Arms holding you both. We ask this in Jesus Name, Amen.
