Hi all..When I starting collecting radios about 15 years ago I came across a 1927-28 Airline radio (model A-C eight type C Presidential style) It is in a stand up phonograph type of case and has huge lift up top... The Electronics still work...but after a few mnts a transformer begins to get very warm (short somewhere) Anyway ..I can not find a schematic for it or technical data. It has a power supply that everything in it is not sealed in tar..So..I want to replace caps and bring up to spec... All the wires that go to cap block ..well I don't know what the values are...ANY HELP?? Or steer me in the righ direction? THANKS!!!

OOOPS also the reciever has brass plate that says "Neutrodyne Reciever" with serial number C-8029 and has a tube line-up of 5 226s 1 227 and two 171s power supply has a 280 All tubes are original and work

Might try the schematic for a Packard Bell 8AC:

The Allied 8/9 AC schematic is some-what close mine my Airline has 10 wires our of power pack and no dynamic speaker... My Airline AC-8 uses a small headphone driver with that typical large Airline brown composition bell...(for 1928 what a cheap speaker!!)

:Ok thanks carl will try that
