Crosley 517A - "fiver'

[DavGoodlin]

I have it recapped now and used 22mf@450V in place of the 16mf originals. The wax caps were all original as were the two PS caps.

The higher value resistors were almost all the colored dog-bone style and all checked within 10-20%, so I left them in place. 350/60/40 ohm resistors in the bias supply, are close too but look like fusible types and look like insulated braid over a wire-wound.


Dave - I noticed too that the 5Y3 is connected with diode halves in parallel. The B= is supposed to be 225 and and 160 v on plate of the 6K6. Looks like the field coil drops over 60 volts. Not as high a voltage set as an RCA or Philco. I used 450v caps anyway.
