The Admiral 6EI, 6EIN
Luggage type Portable Radio
Below are two pictures of the chassis. Parts are identified by a
number.
Part number 7 (7 in a circle, lower right) is the filter capacitor can.
There are 3 filter capacitors inside that need replacing.
This is the bottom view of the chassis. Capacitors numbered 8 through 17 are the paper capacitors to be replaced. That is a total of 10 paper capacitors.
Since there are 13 capacitors to replace for this restoration, this makes
the restoration cost:
13 * $10.00 = $130.00 + sales tax (if you live in NY State) + return shipping.
Here is a list of the capacitors:
Capacitor Number |
Description |
7a | 33µf@160 Volts |
7b | 47µf@160Volts |
7c | 100µf@160Volts |
8 | .047µf@400Volts |
9 | .22µf@400Volts |
10 | .0022µf@630Volts |
11 | .01µf@400Volts |
12 | .01µf@400Volts |
13 | .01µf@400Volts |
14 | .01µf@400Volts |
15 | .01µf@400Volts |
16 | .22µf@400Volts |
17 | .047µ@400Volts |
So for this set the restoration would cost $130.00* + (Tax if you live in NY State) + Shipping.
* As of 4/1/06 I now charge a flate rate for all radio restorations. It covers a lot more than the paper and filter capacitors. For this radio I will include, line cord, and resistors, if any or all are in need of replacement as a part of the restoration. Tubes cost extra, if necessary. There maybe an extra charge for certain parts that are very difficult to find, such as cabinet parts, knobs and special coils or switches and other parts that were specially made for this radio. If your radio needs dial cord re-stringing, that is included in the restoration as well.
