I want to thank everyone for their input and advice! I need to
check, but I vaguely recall that my Dad replaced all the
electrolytics in the transmitter a few years before he died (which
was in 2007). I know for a fact that the LV and HV electrolytics have
been replaced. I'm not sure what others were replaced, but opening it
up and looking should make it clear. I don't believe he documented
their replacement, but told me that he'd done it. I think, but am not
certain (gotta look) that the and that the selenium rectifiers have
also been replaced with silicon rectifiers.
I know that WRL tried to put every winding in one transformer, and
that's not the best idea for long term reliability. Something to
work on these winter nights!
73,
