Silvertone 7054
Silvertone 7054
Hello my name is Frank,
I just recently got interested in antique radios and restoring them. I picked up a Silvertone 7054 chassis number 101.808. I have the schematic for this model, but am still a newbie to this type work. I have looked at several article on antique radios and watch several you tube videos. I know the first thing is not to plug them in and to replace the Electrolytic capacitors first then replace all other capacitors.This is my first re-capping and need help with the Electrolytic. There are 3 (2) 40 MFD and (1) 20 MFD. They are inclosed in an aluminum can and I do not want to cut it open, but rather do them from the bottom of the chassis. The question I have is how do I determine which clip there are 3 of them is the 40 mfd and which is the 20 mfd, also how to I determine were the neg part of the electrolytic is to be attached?
Not sure how to post a picture

Re: Silvertone 7054
In your radio, the negatives are tied together and are connected to the on-off switch. As for the other terminals, there is usually a legend stamped on the side of the capacitor which corresponds to the symbols printed beside the terminals. Be sure to cut the old capacitor out of the circuit!

Re: Silvertone 7054
Thanks for the replay. I see what you are talking about, but only one wire to the on/off switch is connected to the negative side of the electrolytic case, the other is connected to pin #5 on the 35Y4 tube. So all negative leads from the Electrolytic would connect to the negative side for the on/off switch?

Re: Silvertone 7054
All three negative leads should be connected together & go to the switch where the old cap is now.

Thanks. Hopefully the New Electrolytic capacitors will be in shortly.
