HELP! I have a Crosley model 167 that I am trying to restore, but the chassis inside the case doesn't match the schematic for a 167. Can anyone help me identify the correct model for this chassis? The 167 scematic says that the chassis should have tube sockets numbered 37, 38, 38 & 57. The chassis that I have has tube sockets numbered 42, 57, 58, 58 & 80. 5 tubes, NOT 4! I can provide pictures if it will help. Thanks in advance to ANYONE who can help.

Hi,
If the Rider page is indicated as Crosley page 4-9,

The numbers that you refer to are just reference numbers to the part numbers.

The output is a 42, the rectifier is an 80, (40 is actually a voltage amplifier triode), the sockets should be marked, and based on what I see, you should have 2 type 58's and 1 type 57 for the remainder of the tube complement. The 57 being the "37" and the 58 being the "38".

Your chassis is correct, the schematic was just drawn strange.

John,

Thanks. I completely missed that. I had completely redrawn the schematic, replacing ref. #s with real values (to try to get it to make sense) & got those wrong + I didn't see the 80 socket drawn next to the transformer. I am having real trouble with this since it appears that someone made repairs to the unit in the 50s & now NONE of the capacitors that I can read match any of the values in the schematic. I will try to trace it out again. Thanks again for pointing out my oversite.

I find it difficult, too, to read schematics that do not have the tubes circled. You have to adjust your eyes, almost.
