Howdy - WDØHCO Biz here ...

I am working on a moldie oldie - an old SBE-33 - one of the first
transistor/hybrid tube rigs of the mid-60's. This rig was new when "I Dream
of Jeannie" was broadcasted on NBC - 42 years ago I think.

Well anyway that's what I remembered - the rig is fixed and working great -
but every now and then the "PA Load" cap shorts to ground and output goes
bye-bye.

Old Faust Gonset used a trimmer cap for the PA LOAD. It's an ARCO L305
compression trimmer type - no value on the schematic but I am assuming its
180 mfd by the size.

Question is... has anyone worked on this and I am thinkin of pulling the
whole thing out and putting a "REAL" variable cap in it's place.

Opinions Please... thanks - B
