Below are two pictures of the chassis.  Parts are identified by a number.
 

Top View of Chassis

Part number 7 (7 in a circle, lower right) is the filter capacitor can. There are 3 filter capacitors inside that need replacing.
 
 

Bottom view of chassis

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.



This Portable Battery Radio does not qualify for the 6 tube radio restoration special.
