It's great to see an old radio brought back to useful life. As always- You did a great job. Gary

Thanks AndyDaviesByTheSea
Hey Andy,
In the US, the standard for home power is a hot side, ground, and an earth ground, 120VAC@60Hz. So it seems the configuration is the same as yours, but the voltage and cycles are different
Regards,
Rick

Hi Rick, another nice clear video. Tell me please, is one side of your mains supply referenced to earth as ours is in the UK?
Or are both sides floating?
Our domestic supply is 240 Volts RMS 50 Hz usually with the negative side grounded at the incoming termination and it’s referred to as PEM that’s Permanent Multiple Earthling. The live connection, the side that isn’t earthed, is always on the right of a socket outlet and each plug has its own fuse.
Kind Regards ... Andy

Thanks SpeakerFreak95
I'll use them and any other good quality cap.

That's a very good repair job. I have one of these I got as a teenager but it is at my parents' house. Mine was still working on original components back then but I will definitely replace the capacitors when I am able to get it.
Luckily I think it still uses the IF cans with the variable capacitors rather than the bad mica caps which began to be popular starting around when this set was made.

It is nice to have an easy repair every now and then. Nice ordinary IF cans. Glad you have one also, really nice to find one of these. Any Westinghouse radio is nice for a collection and the styling on this model is very interesting.

Rick,
C'mon...real vintage radio repairmen don't own a chassis with enough space to swim in. That's cheating. And a hinged back no less...gimme a break. :-)
I like the older AM/FM radios. They do sound good.
Thanks.
Regards,
John

Hey John,
I don't remember get a call from you, just leave a message, I'll call back. I only have the cell now and sometimes I'll get a message the next day? Anyway it works most of the time. I have been spending more time in an area that has questionable coverage that may be the problem.
Regards,
Rick
