[NJARC] Grill cloth question

[Aaron Hunter]

Edward

I tried to find pictures of any Beverlys and came up with a remote 
control and one table top.  The best bet on your grill cloth is to look 
at pictures of radios of that vintage and pick a grill cloth that suits 
you and the radio.

A good tip would be to fuse the B+ center tap of the power transformer.  
I have been using 500 ma fuses since the 80, 5Y3 and 5Y4 are rated at 
500 ma. but a smaller fuse such as 400 ma might be better.  I haven't 
experimented with the current drain or a short test.  I'm cheap so I 
grab a quick blow fuse of any style and solder on pigtails.  Fuse the 
center tap rather than the B+ output leg, as I had a 5Y4 rectifier 
filiment break, short and take out the transformer before I realized the 
radio wasn't playing.
