Crosley 181 capacitor enquiry
#4

With MOST - but not all - both caps in the assembly will go to chassis ground through the mounting band. They will have one lead soldered to it. There are exceptions that can be accommodated as you "build" the new cap(s).

Here are some notes where the Crosley caps are mentioned and rebuilt:

This one in particular, I had to rebuild many of those caps:

Note that Crosley used caps made by most of the large manufactures. They were branded "Crosley" and also had the Crosley part numbers which will help in IDing the configuration. Crosley caps of that age will be marked W-XXXXX.
