I kind of thought that wire should be insulated and just looped through the opening, as it wasn't touching I figured it used to have insulation, BUT wanted to confirm.
I have already replaced all of the rubber coated wire, knew it was bad, FORTUNATELY most of the wire in the chassis is cloth covered, less than 10% is rubber.
The rectifier tube is an 84/6Z4 that Radiodaze told me to use, I relied on them as I didn't have any of the original tubes, this tube is marked Sylvania Made in the USA - no other markings. The other two tube there was a choice on were the 41's they said the Tube Jan CHS 41 - VT-48 was the original style to use in the socket marked 41 on the diagram on the inside of the cabinate. See attached tube diagram picture.
I replaced the electrolytic (filter) capacitors one was a 12 MFD Philco 30-2474-X. single lead, replaced with a C-EA10-160 - 10 MFD@160v Axial-Elec., the other was a double lead - Blue 8 MFD, the other Red 16 MFD Philco 30-2475-X, replaced with 2- C-EA22-450 - 22MFD@450v Axial-Elec Cap.
Is that my error? I should have replaced the double lead (8MFD & 16 MFD) with the 22MFD and 10MFD and the single lead (12MFD) with a 22MFD?
Again these are the ones Radio Daze told me to use, I may have made the mistake of using the 22MFD to replace the 8 MFD, that would be my mistake.
Your thoughts.
