[Premium-Rx] Sylvania R-1414

[Doxemf]

Art,

Not long ago mine stopped working and it turned out to be some of the thru panel power supply branch filters had shorted internally. Upon dissection it turns out that it is an LC filter that used a tantalum capacitor. We all know the problems with those. This little goodie looks like a normal 3/8 bolt style C thru filter but not. I measured the L and think just used a 10uf in parallel mounted with stand-offs.
 At least 4-6 went out at about the same time. Located them by disconnecting the branch wires at the main supply feedthru panel. Some were located in different spots thru the various circuit seperator panels. A small clip on DC current probe helps.

I have the complete original manual but have yet to find someplace that can scan the oversize foldouts. The wiring diagram is a full blueprint size and also done in a D size foldout that is 1/3 larger than 11X17. 

I am contacting Terry and maybe he will be able to digitize the complete manual. I have never seen a manual as complete and detailed as this is.

 also have one, but in non-working condition, about which I've corresponded 
ith John in years past.  When it worked, it was quite the receiver.

ohn, I would also be interested in any info on the circuit layouts that you 
ave available.

hanks.
