Westinghouse WR-212
#1

Well, that's the one I bought to make a gift for my old man. With the "magic eye".

So I took the chassis out. As a minimum, the tuning cap belt is broken, so I've ordered one from Adamsradio - thank God for it. Almost every single radio is listed there. Bought various Zenith belts, now the WR-212, all listed by name, easy!

Well, started to look: someone tried to repair it some time back.

This is the schematic.

Now if you look at the caps, all the electrolytics are 8uf, 12uF or such.
Imagine my surprise: the guy put in 150uF-300uF-75uF.....yikes.
So, I think I have'em all, but good thing I am checking it.
Can't trust people nowadays Icon_smile Not with the caps.

Speaker was obviously repaired - some glue on the back of the cone and, for whatever reason, a piece of felt was put in between the cone and one of the frame spots. I wonder why....hopefully it sounds OK, otherwise more money goes to some Speaker shop.

Well, more will come tomorrow.

This is the radio.
