41-250 Restoration
#34

Hi Bridkarl, 

Thanks for the pictures, they are helpful.  On first view, if the 16 uF cap appears to be soldered to pin 8 of the 5Y3.  If this is the case, then the 2 caps may be swapped.  This is not horrible, it is just not per the schematic.  Make the following checks:
  • Verify resistance of the Candohm.
  • Verify that the side that reads 15 Ohm is grounded and the side that reads 146 Ohm is connected to the center tap of the HV secondary.
  • With the speaker connected, verify resistance approximately 1100 Ohm between the +Terminal of the 16 uF cap and  the 12 uF cap.

I modified the schematic for you to reflect a 5Y3.  Refer to the pic attached below:
   
Note that only the 5Y3 heater and HV windings are shown. The heater winding for the other tubes are not shown

Note the red numbers for the following instructions:
    1. This connection is the junction of the 5Y3 filament at Pin 8, the input to the field coil and the + terminal of the 12uf cap, (#62 on the schematic).
    2. This connection is the junction of the - terminal of the 12uF cap (#62), the center tap of the HV secondary winding of the power transformer (This is the winding that feeds the plates of the 5Y3), the 146 Ohm end of the Candohm and Line J. (Line J connects this most negative point of the power supply to the grid bias resistors of the two 41 output tubes.
    3. This connection is the junction of the + terminal of the 16uF cap (#27A) and the B+, Lines E, F to the rest of the radio, feeding the audio output transformer, the 41 screen grid, the 3700 Ohm resistor to the other 41 screen grid, the IF input and output transformer primaries, the plate load resistor for the 1st AF amp, and a voltage divider consisting of resistors #28 and 26.
    4. This connection is the junction of the - terminal of the 16uF cap (#27A), the 15 Ohm end of the Candohm and chassis ground.
    5. See the next diagram.  
       
         This is + terminal of the 8uF cap (#27) and the junctions of resistors #28 and 26. This point provides the B+ to the       mixer tube and the screen voltage for the IF tube, and, through the other leg of resistor #26, the 40VDC to the
         oscillator plate.  The - terminal of the 8uF cap is connected to chassis ground.

    Voltage between points 1 and 2 should be about 260VDC.  Voltage between 3 and 4 should be about 180VDC.

    Hope this helps!
