And, Phil's website is as good and concise as it gets about replacing
capacitors. See http://antiqueradio.org/recap.htm Even if you have been doing it for years, you will appreciate Phil's nice writing style and useful information. And, a big fat A for taking the time to help spread his wisdom, learned from years of experience. Even after years of repairing radios, we learn that we can do it better. A few years ago I was going to replace a paper cap in a 17 tube receiver. I do them one at a time. I clipped the old one out, got a phone call and dinner call and shut the soldering iron off and left. I was not able to return to the work for about a month. By then, I knew there was a capacitor out - but I had clipped the old leads off and it took me an hour of tracing and schematic reading before I could determine where the missing capacitor was. Now, I am more methodical and make notes before I clip the capacitor. A notebook and pencil are always nearby to document before I start work. Life has been much simpler since then. And, it really is a good idea to test the radio after a maximum number of changes. Colin K7FM |
