OH MY you guys are amazing! What a history lesson, my grandson and I really enjoyed the detail of rural life and the radio, which is how they learned of outside news, and commodities for the farms.
I keep staring at my project and wonder wear to start! I like the idea of building power supplies but it would be cool to keep it all stock, I just don't know how practical that would be....
I still have one on the bench to complete. Its the Zenith K526 and just got all he caps in the mail last week. I am such a Newby! Some on this stuff I have not thought about since I was 14. Now 71, I have that same amounts of time I had then. I just have to rotate my time around honey dues etc.
I have a question about replacing the electrolytic cap in the Zenith. I purchased single capacitors to replace the one electrolytic. It has four (4) lugs. I for the life of me cant figure out where the other end of the new cap goes and where it gets landed! I lift the components from the original position and pay attention to polarity, but what the heck! Where does the other end go! To chassis ground? Don't laugh, I took my last electronics class in 1970. I should break out my Amateur Radio Handbook, I bet the answer is there I am sure!
