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 45EY3 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 45EY3 that are not included in Photofacts. RCA identified the different amplifiers by assigning a different Chassis Number to each revision.
To locate the chassis number for your player: Remove the four corner screws from the bottom cover, and you should find it stamped on the side of the amplifier housing in black ink. See a sample in the gallery photo for the RS136C chassis.
I am offering from my smoke free environment this package which includes:
1. All of the components required to replace all of the fixed capacitors and fixed resistors In your 45EY3 Three Tube 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.

Experience: I started my career in electronics in 1963. I’ve been selling vintage vacuum tube, record player amplifier, rebuild kits on eBay for over 6 years. I currently have listings in my store for over 59 different kits from different manufacturers. Currently over 230 of my listings are related to turntables, vintage vacuum tube record players, and parts for both.
* 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 Electrolytics, 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.
