Old Victor caps need values
#9

Carl ,,The old cap numbers that are in the radio do not match up with the parts list for the model 331,and the schematics are hard to read [fuzzy]...Some of these caps in my radio don't have any markings on them at all so I will have to trace it out the best I can. I think what I may have to do is explode the view on the computer and see if I can read it then. It is still an old schematic and hard to read.
I have an RCA re32 which is the same as the 57 except for the record player and it does work very well. I was told that there are not a lot of things that don't have to be changed as far as caps are concerned,,,someting to do with the type of paper they used in the caps.
