Admiral 20X12 restoration

[HighHopes]

On an unrelated topic, the DC equivalent rating of a DC cap is 2.8. A 100 VAC cap can take a 280 voltage swing. That is what a 100 VAC voltage does.

I think.

Thanks. Oh there was plenty of electrical work - I just glossed over it in this write up because I've done this same chassis several times now

I lucked out with the knobs too. There are solid brass rather than plated so they can handle aggressive polishing. Admiral also used plated which are often worn down to the silvery base metal.

Do you use contact cleaner on the cabinet? If so what does that do?


Thanks to azbigsam I have the correct speaker and a whole chassis for another project.


That's better

Oh, it's 1.414 times the AC rating.

No, it's there to show a reflection in the shiny surface.
