I have an RCA model 281 that I am working on...The paper caps that are in it just have part numbers on them...does anyone know how to ID the (ie value) by the numbers???like 73716 = ?.

Hi

Can you trace components using a schematic?

Old RCA's tend to have a 4 digit numbering scheme for components and 5 digits for specialty items. Your extra digits don't aree with
their numbering scheme. However, much later in time RCA was using a muuuuulti digit part numbering on parts and it was referred
to as a drawing number, which you then had to cross reference over into a part number.
The info supplied on the last page of the series of the schematic info fits in quite well in referencing to an RCA part number with the exception of providing a caps voltage rating
or wattage value on a resistor....plus your longer numbering is not in agreement with any numbers given. Do any other cap parts numbers agree
with the posted parts numbers ?
