Mine will do this also. Like it stuck on 10 inch record setting. I just use mine manually. Eve if i set it for twelve inch record starts playing at 10.

Was just wondering .I always order my caps & resistors from a place in Florida
Tell him the set sends caps for it. But this time he sent 22uf for 15uf.
This set has 3- 15uf. 1- 10uf.: & 1- 40uf. electrolytic caps. Would the 22uf be a little of the 10% margin.

It's OK to go a little bigger on electrolytics. No problem.

Back in the olden days, electrolytic caps tended to vary -10% to +40% anyway... So the 22 for the 15 is just a bit beyond that, but unless it's the first cap a vacuum tube rectifier would see, it won't hurt anything to be too big.

Hence my name capbuster. Guess what i done stuck a cap in bass ackward.
My problem is trying to work on three set at same time. Need to finish one move onto the other. Working on a crosley 03cq and this set and philco model 111. Work on cabinet for awhile then jump to chassi. I going to finish one before going to another. Sorry guy,s
my bad.

If i may ask another question ? This set has two cans with electrolytic caps .
One can has a 15uf cap. On the bottom ground goes to it but the pos lead goes nowhere . Has two terminals black going too one nothing on the other .
Looks original. I left it alone because lead comes out pos. then nothing.

Don't quite follow what you're describing. Can you trace it out on the NostalgiaAir schematic?

capbuster · #23 08-16-2010, 05:44 PM

I,am working on getting set up for photos. Really kinda new to this sending link,s and pics.

What it is on bottom of can has two terminals.
A black wire ground to one then on the other terminal no wire going to nothing.
Just like the cap in the can just loops then dead ends. Can see where the cap comes out goes to the other lead . But no wire going to anything. It is like the ground goes in then the positive end just soldered to the other terminal then
stops. If this makes any sense .

Sorry for not being as smart as you guy,s on theses set,s trying to learn. Been a carpenter all my life.

The schematic and the parts list on NostalgiaAir states that there are three electrolytic cans or containers. One contains a 40 and a 10 mfd., which is the usual filter capacitor arrangement.

Then there are supposed to be TWO 15 mfd. capacitors used in a voltage doubler circuit. Is the other 15 mfd. cap there, too? Was somebody in there before you and took it out and modified the circuit perhaps back to a more usual straight rectifier one? Or is it possible that Philco changed in the middle of the run to a "can" with two 15 mfd. caps in it? How is the 15mfd. can marked?

capbuster · #25 08-17-2010, 07:24 PM

It has the two 15 uf for the transformer. The can is marked one 15mfd . But on
the parts list only calls for four electrolytic caps. The other can say,s a 40, and 10. It is like they put a cap in the can then hooked nothing to it. Looks all original all philco tubes caps & resistors.
Thanks for the reply and help Capbuster.
