HQ-145/Worth Recapping?
Count Floyd wrote:
I have heard that there are very few electrolytic capacitors in this machine, as most of them are ceramic disk. The only ones are in a can on the chassis. If the radio is working well as original, would it be better to just leave well enough alone? I always try to live by the maxim: If it ain't broke..... Thanks, Bob Grimes Sometimes yes but often times, no. In certain circuits, a capacitor failure may precipitate another component failure that is either difficult or impossible to find, e.g.: IF cans and power transformers. Oft times its far better to apply some preventative maintenance than to wait for an inevitable, and perhaps catastrophic, failure. de K3HVG |
