Record Junior 196

This is a Emud Record Junior 196 AM/FM USA version. A compact table top with the circuitry of the famed German Engineered Radios. Schematic and alignment (Sams) can be found at www.Radiomuseum.org.

		Take a picture of where the speaker wires go.		Original under chassis. R17 V3 Screen bias resistor is burnt.
Document the cap wires.	I think these *new 47uf 450v caps will fit.*	It is handy to use pipe cutter.	Remove the guts.	The 350 volt caps are larger than *these 450 volt units.*
This is the re-stuffed cap back in the chassis. Also note the crispy critter resistor (R6 B+ line) in the FM tuner section.	This has been replaced with a 2 watt metal oxide resistor. This is not the first crispy resistor found. Some thing is up.	Oh boy! See the ~30 amp strap across the 1 amp fuse?	I bet some one had a couple of shorted tubes and blew this fuse and later the two resistors when the fuse no longer opened up.	Checking the resistors.
	This electrostatic checks good. This capacitance is comparable to other tweeters that I have rebuilt. A low buzz can be heard as induced by the cap checker.		Go To www.Radiomuseum.org for the whole document.	Restored and aligned chassis.
The power switch mechanics have been cleaned and lubricated. There is some wear on the part that hold the power switch in the off position. I would always unplug this unit when not in use.	The tweeter may be working now but it will soon stop. The dark brown foam is original and hard. If you touch it, it crumbles. The yellow is the new soft foam.		The capacitance increased. That indicates to me that a better connection from the contact to the diaphragm and/or the diaphragm is closer to the metal grill.
The case was cleaned with Mineral Spirits.		The missing paper has been painted.	3 coats of hand rubbed paste wax.
