WHY did I get this--? For purely "sentimental reasons". I had one about 35 years ago. I played with it then for awhile...but I was forced to get rid of it about a year later "for my own good" along with that Admiral M20 set and many other thing

Well...i got one late last summer. I want to get it running. I plugged it in yesterday--the tubes all began to light...then a resistor on the side of that big 4 section cap began smoking. One section is a 425mf at 175v..could be easily replaced with a 470/180 or so.

I CANNOT find any sort of chassis # on it--to look up a sams for the chassis. I was hopong maybe someone here might recognize it--and be able to help me. I expect it is from 1963-1965, maybe a year older or newer..
Did you scan through the Beitmans schematics, for the years 1963-65?
It should be covered there.
The 25F5 tube is similar to the 35C5, but less power output. It's amazing to see that large of value electrolytic for filtering purposes.
