Reaplacing old capacitors and question is on one from volume control (.02 MFD PN 22-1683) Single lead from volume control and one output appears to go to grid of 19T8 and second lead rivited to case to chassis ground through 4.7 Meg resister. How should I replace this and I do not see resister on radio?

Hi Brian,
This capacitor has three leads. Going between the volume control and the grid of the first audio amplifier, it is one of the most important to replace.

What I do is this. I remove the capacitor and melt out the wax and remove its tin foil and wax paper insides. The lead that had gone to the ground is connected to a metal shield. This shield will be retained in the exterior cardboard tube of the capacitor. I then place the new capaictor in the tube and seal it in with wax. The whole thing goes back in where it came from.
On the first radio I did that had this kind of capacitor I just replaced it with a new capacitor thinking the shield was not necessary. The result was a hum in the audio.

Best Regards,

Bill Grimm

Thanks, Bill will do
