[Boatanchors] Viking 1 oil filled capacitor help

[Garey Barrell]

Kevin -

Just curious.   Is yours shorted?   I had one in a Viking I that 
shorted, and it was the ONLY oil filled cap that I have ever seen fail 
shorted in 50 years of messing with this stuff.

The Viking II uses the same cap, and there are a lot of those parts 
units floating around.  A "new" replacement will be very expensive if 
you can even find one.

ER Magazine has a Part Unit listing if you can't find one locally.
