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..... I'd power it up on a variac, and if it powers up properly and the supply voltages are okay, I'd leave it. If the supply voltages are NOT okay, I'd change the supply caps immediately before you ruin the power transformer. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
