[AMRadio] DRIVER XFMR UPDATE

[MIke Wells]

Thanks Tony

That makes sense, I'll replace the 510mmf in the circuit since I dont have
the gear to check them. I wonder how you figured out it was cooking before
damage occured? All that stuff is tucked away behind the shield and hard to
see. I have always felt like the silver mica caps were a pretty safe bet
that they are ok, but as I hear stories from different groups it sounds like
they fail like all other 50 year old componets.

I had that cathode resistor start to cook in my DX-100. Turned out to be the
510 mmfd silver mica coupling caps were leaky. replaced em with .01 orange
drops. Check it before the thing roasts the new transforker!
