Inexpensive Heathkit HW-16 Front Panel Overlays - www.hayseedhamfest.com

| Hello, all. I am now able to supply new multi-section can-type filter
| capacitors for the HW-16, as well as full HW-16 power supply re-cap
| kits. These are not on my web-site ( www.hayseedhamfest.com ) as
yet,
| but here are the main details:
|
| HW-16 MULTI-SECTION CAP:
|
| These are fresh, brand-new capacitors in twist-loc type cans, as per
the
| originals. They are not N.O.S. or re-stuffs.
|
| They are a drop-in replacement for the original cap - no modifications
| needed.
|
| They are intended to upgrade as well as replace the original unit.
|
| The operating temperature rating has been raised from 85C to 105C.
|
| The voltage ratings have been increased to more realistically handle
| higher secondary voltages due to today's typical a.c. line voltages.
|
| The terminals are identified on the bottom wafer and also on the can,
| per the original, i.e. half-moon, square, triangle, and blank. The can
| is negative (ground), of course.
|
| The terminals are copper for easy soldering.
|
| They will be furnished with metallic mounting wafers.
|
| Below are the specs of the original units vs. the specs of the new
| capacitors:
|
| ORIGINAL (85C) NEW UNIT (105C)
| 40 mfd @ 350V / 47 @ 450V
| 50 mfd @ 350V / 47 @ 450V
| 80 mfd @ 200V / 100 mfd @ 250V
| 80 mfd @ 300V / 100 mfd @ 350V
|
| Dimensionally there are no clearance or interference problems. The
| height is only 3/16" taller than the original, (3 11/16" vs. 3 1/2").
| The diameter is 1 1/2" which is the same diameter as the base of the
| original unit (the new can is straight-sided, whereas the upper part
of
| the original is slightly smaller in diameter).
|
| The prototype has been produced and accepted. Full production is
| expected to begin in about a week to ten days.
|
| Amateur net for the multi-section cap = $19.95 ea. + shipping.
|
| Please e-mail me for details regarding availability of other
| multi-section caps for Heathkit and other ham gear.
| I am in the process of expanding the line beyond this first model.
| ---------------------------------
|
| HW-16 P.S. RECAP KIT:
|
| For your convenience, I can supply a complete HW-16 power supply recap
| kit consisting of the following:
|
| 1 - Multi-section cap as per above.
| 2 - 47 mfd @ 450V 105C radial electrolytic caps (for under chassis
| mounting).
| 2 - 22 mfd @ 160V 105C axial electrolytic cap (for the bias supply).
|
| Amateur net for the kit: $27.95 ea. + postage.
|
| Please e-mail me for details regarding availability of other
| multi-section cap kits for Heathkit and other ham gear. I am in the
| process of expanding the line beyond this first model.
|
| I do accept PayPal from U.S. amateurs. For ordering instructions or
if
| you have any questions, please e-mail me at tfarl (at) mchsi (dot) com
