heya my boss(i'm a blacksmith) asked me to look at this tube shortwave that he had someone else (supposedly an electrical guru look at) it looks like they began to recap the thing with caps that weren't suited for the job...anyway long story short i need the schematic so that i can order the right caps....this is really pitiful this guy duct taped this huge cap and crammed it inside the box ontop of the chassis with some jumper cables........really lame.......can any one help a young blacksmith get some brownie points with the old boss man??????

Steven,

There is a schematic for your radio at http://techpreservation.dyndns.org/schematics/RCA.htm

The schematic is in djvu format so you will need the djvu dropin or standalone djvu program to view and print. If you have neither they can be had at http://techpreservation.dyndns.org/schematics/

Thank you so much

Pity.... that the unit had befallen the Butcher of Baghdad. Probably was also the dual section 80ufd/50 ufd/150VDC C24 electrolytic filter capacitor near the 35W4 rect and 35C5 af out tubes.
Should you need more in detail parts info than the referenced schematic is also shows to be covered in Howard Sams Photofact 265 file 9 if near a major library.(Memphis?)

Now with it having said of being a black smithy, you do have our word that radio doesn't get near
any heavy peening or drawing hammers nor anvils...or in these days.....heavy heated soldering irons or torches.....right?

That radio has it all in the respect of additionally having a front RF stage. Plus, its not inordinately too old, from the parts acquisiton aspect.
