BV-613 various questions
#1

Hi

I am new to this forum, I have recently acquired, what I believe to be a BV-613 World War 2 General Broadcast Receiver used by the British Army.

There are several problems with the Power supply unit

So...

Does anyone have a circuit diagram for this radio ?

The radio is powered by a 6V DC battery, HT is supplied using an Mallory 650 vibrator and a 6X5 common cathode rectifier. (I will probably re-pot the vibrator with a solid state vibrator as I have done previously)

I like to change the old paper capacitors as a matter of course, this is where my first problem lies.

There are two capacitors labelled PT. No. 4522D, these are can type with the case being one connection and the lead for the other, what is the capacitance of these ?

The other is a multi capacitor in a single can has 6 tags , 3 common tags to the body and 3 separate tags

Phiclo part number 61-0028S
Other markings are
10-350 (with a square symbol next to it) I assume this is 10mF 350V
10-330 (with a triangle symbol next to it) I assume that this is also 10mF 350V
20-25 CAN NEG (20mF from where ? to CAN)
what is the pinout/internal layout of this capacitor

Thanks
Richard (in the UK)
