It's at radiomuseum.org, but you have to have a subscription to get the schematic. But I see someone beat me to it, sending you a copy. |

Thanks, I have one of these radios, and I replaced all the wax caps ("Ducan?") and the electrolytics, and if I recall correctly there was a mica cap that had about 75V across it that also went bad, plate circuit of the 6AV6 I think it was. Mica caps don't like a lot of voltage across them. If the IF transformer has separate caps across the coils, that's not a problem, as the plate circuit one has the same DC voltage across it. And the grid circuit one has the same low DC voltage across it. |

I wonder if Ducon Australia was in any way related to British manufacturer The Dubilier Condenser Co (aka Ducon) |
