[Boatanchors] Old Electrolytics Any Good?

[Craig C. Heaton]

Jim,

Doubt if the caps are heavy or pretty enough to make a good paper weight,
pitch em'. The last few days I've been going through a old Viking 500, using
a Sprague TO-6A cap analyzer. The 500 has been sitting on a shelf for years,
the filter caps in the PS/MOD have been replaced in the recent past. Anyway,
every electrolytic in the PS/MOD and RF deck were out of spec and or had too
much leakage.

If someone in your area has a tester/analyzer, at best it might be a good
exercise.
