[ARC5] Where's the beef?

[R.Smith]

I just joined this group about a week ago,  doe's any still hang out 
here?  I've seen only a couple of postings about dynomotors and that's all.
I'm a Q5-er lover.  I built my first one as a Novice in 1960,  my second 
around 1972, and am building another one now.  In the first one,  all 
onboard parts were very fresh and the radio worked flawlessly.
The 2nd one was now about 25 years old and still worked great as is.  
The one I'm building now, had all the capacitors oozing a black liquid 
and most didn't test their respective values.  Reluctantly,  I "chopped" 
them all out and replaced them with mylars.  Receiver works great!  So 
now I be working on the converter.  It'll be using the broadcast band 
capacitor setup only as a tunable band pass device ahead of a 6GM6 rf 
amp.  That will capacitively couple to a 12AT7  mixer/xtal osc.
Anyway, Hello to anyone and everyone out there.
