  1. Thanks everyone. I'll follow the diagram posted by Kent. @jessiAV, I hope I didn't hijack your thread...
  2. Here is the underside of my crossover. I have circled the positions of the 4uf and 3uf soldered leads.
  3. Hello Kent and Roy. Thank you both for your help! Kent, you are correct, I am trying to determine which lead is 3uf and which is 4uf. I'm not sure if it will be helpful, but here is a close-up photo of the cap in question. I'm starting to wonder if it would matter much if these leads were inadvertently switched. Thanks again. Tom
  4. @JKent et.al, I am preparing to recap a pair of Model Fives. They are the later variety with the PCB. My question is regarding the "+3 +4 uf" capacitor. I am assuming that the two leads on one end are joined and soldered. How do you handle the soldering of the other two leads... where do you solder the 3 uf lead and where do you solder the 4 uf lead? Hope this makes sense. Here is a pic of the cap in question. Many, many thanks in advance!
  5. Genek, this fabric looks great! Do you have a link? I've been to the Ulster site but can't find this fabric after trying to sift through the choices.
  6. Thanks for this info! Did you purchase the “OATMEAL?”
  7. Hi Kent, Not sure if this will be helpful, but... A while back I restored a pair of Seventeens with the same grille cloth. One of my grilles also had a small stain that resembled rust. Like you, I also tried to clean it to no avail. Turns out the stain was isolated to just one horizontal thread of the fabric. Eventually that portion of the thread disintegrated into powder. I really don’t believe it was a conventional stain caused by a spill. Instead, I believe something in this weave is subject to oxidation and eventual disintegration. I ended up pulling a stray thread from the back of the grille and threading in to replace that missing portion. Not perfect, but worked pretty well.
