Thanks Radioroslyn, this hobby is new for me, any help is much apreciated, never heard about the rule of Ac/DC capacitors, very good information! The gauge of the wires is 20, is used in vintage tube amplifiers, should work fine, and every wire I remove I measure it and cut new one same lenght, and route it same place of the old, but I think some Were changed of place because of the recap, hope not and will work fine. I am starting with the tunning condenser sub assembly to remove it and let me clean and give me more space. The electrolytics are dry but one I removed from the sub assembly is half with liquid, hope this is normal and this not mean has been submerged in water  the mica I have been checking are within value but many resistors not, can I change the watts from 1/2w to 1 or 2w without issues? 1/2w looks very small and "modern" and want to make it as close as possible in my possiblities to original.

As I was saying it doesn't look like they used much of a bobbin for the field coil, not like a Magnavox one wou...Arran — 05:49 PM |

This AK84 was bought, I think, last fall.
For a whopping $100.
It has been, according to the seller, restored.

Duh! I guess I can’t read an ohm meter today. I took the oscillator coil out and will take some readings tomorrow.Radios1340 — 05:30 PM |
