Note: Radial Film Capacitors may be used in some instances in place of the Tubular Axial Film Capacitors shown in the Gallery photo.
To provide the Correct Schematic and Components for your player when purchasing this kit, you will need to let me know the chassis number of your 45EY2 and type it into the “Message to Buyer” block at checkout, or thru eBay messaging. There are variations in the components used in different Amplifiers that RCA used in the Model 45EY2. The Chassis number can normally be found by removing the 4 corner screws securing the Masonite cover on the bottom of the player. It is stamped in black ink on the outside of the amplifiers metal housing that contains the electronic components. See the second gallery photo example at the top of the page of how it may appear on the housing. The following chassis numbers may be incorporated: RS138, RS138A, RS138F, RS138H, RS138M, and RS138R. If these combinations are blurred or missing contact me thru eBay messaging.
I am offering from my smoke free home, this package which includes:
1. All of the components required to replace all of the fixed capacitors and fixed resistors in your 45EY2 amplifier.
2. All of the resistors are bagged and labeled individually to match the schematic. The capacitors are listed individually with part numbers, values, and schematic designations.
3. A photocopy of the schematic from original RCA documentation for your record player.
* We use 1 watt or higher, normal size, flame proof resistors, with tolerances of plus or minus 5% or better. Most of the resistors in the original amplifier were ¼ or ½ watt carbon composition resistors with a tolerance of plus or minus 10%. Our resistors will dissipate more heat so your amp will run cooler. Be careful, when selecting components for your restoration. Do not use kits with, or small size resistors designed, and used for solid state devices. They will not withstand the voltages generated by vacuum tube devices.
* We use tubular 630-volt metalized polypropylene and metalized polyester film capacitors with axial leads. metal-foil polypropylene, metalized polyester orange dips, and ceramic disc capacitors. These capacitors are advantageous because of their small size, high insulation resistance, current carrying capability, good capacitance stability, and they are self-healing.
* We use Electrolytic capacitors with long axial or radial leads and, working voltages, ideal for repairs and restorations of devices with vacuum tubes. Our components will match or have closer tolerances than the original component
* We use the FIFO (first in first out) method when picking components for your order to assure that you are getting the freshest components that we have available. This is particularly important with Electrolytic's, you won't have to be concerned that you'll be getting new old stock, or items that have been on the shelf for years.
Returns:
We seal all of our final packaging to keep out moisture and other contaminants during in house storage, and shipment. We cannot accept the return of items where the seal is broken, the sealed packaging has been opened, or where the packaging is demonstrated as being tampered with. It is no longer reusable and cannot be resold.
