I’ve recapped the 48-482. Given that this chassis was in fairly good shape (especially on the underside), I tried to be as conservative as possible in replacing parts. Of course all the paper and electrolytic capacitors got replaced. I also replaced the Bakelite capacitors in the power supply with safety caps. This time the Bakelite housing cracked, so I replaced it with a small solder-on terminal strip. I broke one mica capacitor, so I had to replace it as well. I also replaced a couple of wires with evidence of burns or tears on the jackets. Over all it looks nice!

   

   

You’ll notice a wire cap on the AC cord; I am waiting for a fuse socket to arrive in the mail, but still wanted to test it.

I’m working on uploading fifteen-second short videos to YouTube to demonstrate the performance. I have not yet aligned the set, but it already sounds pretty good! I also do not have the speaker belonging to this set. I have given it to a member of the local Heartland Antique Radio Association to get a tear in the cone repaired. I had to test it with the speaker from my 46-480 console.
