Hello Everyone: I have just started to restore this Transoceonic H500. I am using the schematic from this site. I am crosschecking the capacitors as layed out in the schematic and what I am seeing on the radio isn't the same as the schematic. I am not all the way through it yet but I have seen a couple so far that are not the same capacity rating as the schematic. C20 on the If tube is supposed to be .0047 uf but it is .047 uf in the radio. It doesnt look like it has been replaced at some point. Has anyone who has restored this radio come across anything similar? Thanks for any advice.

It's possible that you have a different version. What is the chassis number?
Johnnysan-

This is a H500 , serial #391456. I have 1 full schemtic and 1 partial that say they are for the H500 but they have different values for many components. The partial schematic may be the correct one but i am not sure. Itr is one this site. is there any way to get the entire page?::Hello Everyone: I have just started to restore this Transoceonic H500.

Edd I was wondering if you ever made heads or tails out of the can I sent you..LBAsson If so give a email or something...Please Great thanks

John,
Occassionally I've noticed drawings/lists that include a leading "0", but if the decimal is unseen or unprintable from an old schematic, the wrong value appears.

Hi Johm,

C20 on the If tube is supposed to be .0047 uf but it is .047 uf in the radio.

I know no one has ever looked at the wrong physical part and get it mixed up with the schematic but the .047 is not the one on the RF 1U4, right? With that out of the way SAMS Set 152-12 covers Model H500 Chassis 5H40 and it is different from the Zenith/Riders Model H500 Chassis 5H40. Regardless tho the IF Decoupling cap is same, .0047 at 400 Volts. Now all that being said it's no telling what value part may be installed versus the schematic and no manfacturer is exempt from doing that as far as I know. I have had the ZTO's with .0047, don't recall any other value but did have a run of ZTO's with .0033 caps. And other part changes of course. What to do? I generally follow what was factory installed unless I know different for some reason. Most times it involves resistors and it's because I don't like the voltage readings. Of course I didn't know what Edd said so I may reconsider what I have in my ZTO. But here's some pictures of factory installed .0033 cap. Good luck with your ZTO.

I have a dumb question, how do you insert pictures here ?

Thanks, Edd
