2 dead recapped radios
If you read my other thread "are recaped tube radios safe?" then you already know about the Admiral 5G22 but today I recapped a Crosley 10-135 that is also dead,no tubes glowing either. Neither radio did anything like catch on fire,sizzle crackle pop etc. I am new to tubes but the first radio I recapped works! I doubt I have a tube problem because I cleaned both units up and I did a tube swap on the admiral with no new results. Tell me if I'm right on this stuff ETR DME 503k would be .05MFD,uf,mf? ETR PPN 202k would be .002? on the big caps the arrows point to negative aka common? One thing I am thinking is the caps I used on my first recap I got local and on these last 2 radio I got them online,so I could have bad new caps? I'm posting some pics of my work please look them over and see if you guys can help a noob out btw I pulled back some of the tape and heat shrink so the solder joints can be seen. Sorry if the pics are fuzzy.
