Unusual Capacitor in Garod 1244G
I',m in the middle of recapping and found a .05mfd paper cap wrapped in foil.
The foil is grounded. The capacitor is connected between the cathode and
screen grid of the 6BG6 horizntal output tube.
Anyone ever see one of these in a circuit before ? Is the foil a shield from the
high voltage, 10kv 500mmf filter cap ?
This set is a 1244G model for sure. It's in the Riders 3-8 Garod. I have found a wiring error on the schematic for the secondary of the vertical output / yoke connections. The yoke should be grounded, not connected to the 360 volt B+ line. Caught this error comparing Sam's 1244T schematic, folder 93A-7 to the Riders 1244G's.
