Glen H. | Finished Harmony Amp Project!!! I just finished replacing the filter caps in my 1950's Harmony amp (Model H189). I already replaced the power cable (with a grounded one) and the speaker, and I could not stand the hum any longer... This is a very small, single-ended amp similar to a Fender Champ. The tubes are: 35Z5 (rect.), 50L6 (o/p) and 12SQ7 (pre.). VERY CUTE!!! One question though. I had to replace the original "Pyramid" brand filter cap with 3 smaller radial caps. The original was pretty much shot... I do not like to alter original designs, so I placed the new caps inside the metal housing where the original cap had stayed. My electronics wholesaler said that an original replacement type is not available. Is this true, or does someone still make these??? The leads on mine are as follows: RED 40 MF @ 150V RED 40 MF @ 150V BLUE 20 MF @ 25V BLACK common(-ve) Part #925061 Casing #472348 BTW this little guy sounds great!!! 
Regards, Glen H. |
