    Spec sheet vs actual electrolytic capacitor discrepancy

    I’m in the process of replacing the electrolytic capacitors in a vintage 1947 Magnavox CR-197 radio/phono console, and ran into a small issue, where the voltage ratings on the can that I’m replacing don’t match the voltage ratings of the same cap on the radio’s original spec sheet. I’m trying to...

    Hi all, I recently acquired a Magnavox Astrosonic 1P3661 (chassis R22276 DE) from its original owner. It’s in great condition and is solid state.

    Yet Another Maggie Rebuild: 185AA

    It's been awhile since I've posted... Anyhow, I'm about to start a rebuild on a 185AA. I've just completed an 8802 that turned out well, but other than changing the value of the cathode bias resistor and a few cap values, I made no changes to the topology at all. With this 185AA, I'd like to...

    Magnavox 185 recap and subsequent failure questions

    I recently recapped my 185, along with one of the resistors. When I turned it on, the 5U4G tube became very hot, and eventually, it seemed like it was about to become damaged, so I turned the amp off. I know that the next thing to do is to measure voltages starting with the output...

    Magnavox 142 chassis, smoking resistors, help!

    Given my fervor in discovering that 142 amps do indeed have treble when you replace bad HF filter capacitors, I got one unit running like a champ and the second is now making me fight to get it running correctly. I have attached a picture of the two misbehaving resistors (511), they like to...
