Many thanks to all the folks who responded to my BC-348 restoration post with your restoration experiences and advice!! All great advice!
Of particular interest to me was the posts where some had replaced the postage stamp paper capacitors and then measured the leakage currents, finding that all were experiencing some degree of “bad”. That finding is similar to my own experience with electrolytic capacitors where the ones I’ve encounter are either bad or going bad. My Collins 30L1 had ruptured vents on all the high voltage electrolytic for example.
I found one website that has an excellent discussion of restoring the dynamotor, complete with color photos showing the take down and rebuild. So between the restoration websites and the expertise here, I should be in good shape!
Thanks! 73, Scott WA9WFA
