Capehart Radio
#1

Last night I won the bidding for a Capehart model 101 that was only seventy miles away from my home. I will go pick it up on Friday. The cabinet looks pretty good in the pictures. The biggest problem is the record changer has been replaced with something from the 1950's and the speaker has been replaced with a Philco model.The speaker is not a big conceren for now but I would love to find the Capehart record changer if they are not priced out of this world. There does not seem to be a lot of tech data on these radios. My Riders for that model only lists a wiring diagram but no schematic. Have any of you guys ever restored one of these and do you have a parts or schemetic source for Capehart radio and amplifier models. Riders does have a lot of data on the record changer. Hope to hear from the Ron and Chuck of the Capehart world. Who knows, I might hear from even Ron and Chuck. I bet both of them have tangled with this brand sometime in their vast radio experiences.
