Hello,

I'm trying to solve  a problem with the C-5 capacitor in my receiver BC-454

According to the "Resistance to ground from receivers terminals" 300.000 Ohms. is the leaking resistance of C-5.

In my case I have 400.000ohms without C-5.And voltage of 230V on terminals 3 & 5 of V3, 8 of V4 and 3 & 5 of V5.

Once C-5  is connected, I get 3500.000ohms and 110v voltage.I'm sure C-5 is not working properly.

I replaced C-5 for a cap 3uF 300V and not solution.Voltage do not drop to 4V as it should be.

Resistance is still higher, it's around 400K ohms when it should be around 300K.

Please any idea or help to get good resistance and voltage.??

All the test are done without  Dyna or tubes.

Regards,

Christian
