Oh dear! I think I've hit a bad snag with my AR88D restoration. I was trying
to solder a lead back onto one of those trimmer caps (I mean condensers!)
under the chassis (in the front box). It is C22 (a 2-12 pf air trimmer,
range 3 high end osc). The solder would not take and then after applying an
80 watt iron for some time the cap itself suddenly started to melt! I
stopped immediately. Have I destroyed it? Are spares possible to get or can
I use another type in this instance of desperation?
