To any potential RMorg helpers,

                                             I have just started some restoration work on a Ferranti U1040 which after some valve/tube replacement, is operating fairly well.

In order to try to rectify some distoration & intermittent sound loss, I have removed the chassis, and attached  a couple of pictures of what I have found - despite working fairly well, there are the remains of what I think is a 0.01uf capacitor, which has the original wire connector at one end still soldered as can be seen.

I have tried for about an hour to see where the other end was attached, without success; perhaps the other end of the capacitor has been blown out of the radio somehow, I certainly can`t find it.

As far as I can see from the schematic, there are 3 such cpacitors fitted, and I have found the other two.

In order to replace these 3  `wax, caps`, I need to find out which capacitor it is that has blown, and where it should be connected within the chassis; apart from the one connection I still have (which is connected to the chassis itself). I cannot find a chassis layout in amongst all my sources.

Can anyone help me with this cap replacement please - this is a fairly good looking radio, and even without the blown cap operates adequately enough, but has the potential to work even better.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.
