I recently rebuilt an NC-57 for a kid. Every single micamold cap in that radio were so leaky they were more like bad resistors than capacitors.I literally hate those things. They certainly are not mica-anything: they are squashed poorly-made paper caps.Ken W7EKBSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone
