CT-2 Chrysler Deluxe Radio
#1

Hello All…I am new to the Phorum so please bear with me.
I have a question on a CT-2 Chrysler Deluxe Radio that I have just started on.
I am using the rider’s schematic which is difficult to get a good hardcopy of. 
I have recapped most of the radio with the exception on the a few metal cans.  I would assume that the 3 metal cans with the exception of the filter caps are all electrolytic as there is nothing in the part numbers that designate them.
I have replaced the electrolytic filter caps and am confused.  I assumed the metal can was the negative side of the capacitor and as such I wired the replacements that way.
On power up I am measuring  -206vdc on the plates and +4.5vdc on the filaments with respect to chassis ground.  Did I put the caps in backwards?
 
Thanks
 
Tom
