Atwater Kent model 89 3rd type questions
#1

First off Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!

Has anyone worked on an AK 89?  I have a few questions.
http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...001519.pdf
In the filter choke unit, there is choke #1(480ohms)  #2(1500ohms)  #3(90ohms).  With the wiring in my set the colors don't match up to the chokes.  #2 and #3 are flipflopped.  So the white wire (which was supposed to go to #3)is going to #2 in my set and the red wire is going to #3.  As you can see these values were written in freehand so could they be flopped?  Or should I just go with what the wiring was when I found it.  This set had been worked on before.  A 10uf electrolytic was installed in place of the 2nd 2.3 cap in the filter cap unit under the chassis.
Also If anyone knows the fuse size for this radio by the on-off switch.  Mine was destroyed but it looks like maybe a 3 amp.
One more thing if anyone worked on one of these, is there an easier way to restuff all the bypass cans?  Mine are all rivetted in.  Just wondering.

Thanks for any consideration in advance!!

Dick
