Peerless Radio Find
#20

Today I changed the first filter cap from 450uf to 33uf this should lower the peak rectifier current.  Then redrew the power supply so it made sense.

 I also drew in the ground at the 6A7 cathode where it use to have the volume control attached to it. 

I also decided that it had too much audio gain after changing the 76 tube from detector to audio amp.  and added some resistors to the volume control. I know I could have added a resistor the the 76 cathode and may try this instead. 

 After looking closer at the power supply I moved the power switch to hot side of the cord with a 2 amp fuse and made sure the neutral side went to the chassis part of the bias circuit. (it's a polarized plug) Now I only have 10vac from the chassis to earth ground.    

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
