Crosley 181 capacitor enquiry
#1

http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/do...003310.pdf

I was given a Crosley 181 from an old friend and am new to restoration and am looking for advice regarding replacing duo caps. This radio has three duo caps and I have never come across this in my brief time since I took up this hobby. 

The first pic is of an .006 / .05 cap #37 and #38 on the schematic and the second pic is of #19 and #20, a .1 .1 mfd cap. Someone has replaced some of the electrolytics and other caps in the past so I can’t locate the third duo cap #13 and #14, a .02 .02 cap.

Both of the ones shown have a metal lug with one soldered to the chassis and the other soldered to a terminal strip. I don’t know the significance of this lug.

I haven’t read anything about these types of caps and hoping someone can advise me on how to properly replace these.

I'd try replacing the bulb first and if that doesn't do it, then change the 35Z5 and see if the problem goes away.NostalgiaRadioTime — 12:28 AM
