stromberg carlson 520l electrolitycs
4/21/2003 11:48:10 PMmanuel pereira
hello im looking for the values for the electrolityc cap for the stromberg carlson 520l, the print i hve calls for 40-15-15-20 but does not show voltage rating . some one wired in a 45-45-15 (three section) and i dont have parts listing thank you for info this is turning out to be quite a wiring job

The print is correct - you could use 40-20-20 at 450V for the 3 B+ sections. The other 20 is used as cathode bypass for the output tube and a 20MFD at 50V would work OK for this

I am not sure if this radio is supposed to have a field coil on the speaker or not. Try tracing the wires from the rectifier tube to the first capacitor section, the coil may be mounted on the chassis if not on the speaker, or somebody may have replaced it with a resistor if the speaker failed sometime in the past

Hi Manuel,
L-17 is speaker voice coil. L-18 is speaker field coil. Sounds like someone has rewired or attempted to fix a speaker problem. L-18 could be replaced with 10 watt 1000 ohm resistor, speaker with PM speaker. What's status of output transformer. Retrace carefully the circuit. Just what is bad?

:hello the output transformer is there and i wired new wires to it. is L -18 the winding for speaker field? because that winding was corroded and i have to rewind it thank you for info

Manuel,
Yes, one side of L-18 connects to R-26 and the primary of the output transformer. The other side connects to positive side of C-1, the 40MF cap. Schematic reveals connection. I think you have it.
