[AMRadio] valiant problems

[Anthony W. DePrato]

Ronnie W5SUM:
I just reread your email about the 330pf and 150 pf   series/parallel 
silver mica's
glad i did.. i have ordered two sets of caps now that have got dumb and got 
another valiant last Friday..figured i would do one then the other.. i 
found the silver mica's at 1000v in mousers but i think ill go with your 
suggestion and look for transmitting caps. (anyone have them out there.. 
before i spend my xyl's car payment on them ?)
just finished up one of my SX 99 receivers this week and put the other one 
on the bench while i am waiting for parts. just about have it recapped 
also. well i needed to clean one of the benches off for the valiant so i 
got the Zenith D-116 finished up today and back in the case. got a two 
wheeler and  dragged the old girl out to the shop.. set up the A frame and 
put her on the bench hi hi.. while i was recovering i was thinking what 
receiver i wanted to use with the second Valiant . saw an SX 101 A setting 
under the bench nice clean unit.. power it up worked great.. but has  28 
BB's in her.. so set her on the other bench and will start recapping her 
this week . Jezzzz no wonder I never have any time to get on the air..

If you come up with any more great ideals while i have the transmitter on 
the bench let me know.. BTW thinking about buying a small crane to use 
around here .. wonder where i can find some HO gage track.
