my 37-630 restoration
#5

Work continues on my 37-630. I have finished replacing what were the paper condensers before someone else worked on it. I have removed and rebuilt the electrolytic condensers, removed the electrolytic condensers installed by the mischief maker, and re-installed the rebuilt originals, and wired them into the circuit. I also replaced most of the resistors with new ones of the same resistance and higher wattage rating, although none of the originals were out of tolerance. I am currently waiting for my new dial and some #44 lamp bulbs for the dial and shadow meter, then I will re-connect the speaker, and see what happens. Hopefully, at that point, all I will have to do is an alignment, then re-install the speaker and chassis in the case.
