At the suggestion of one of my vendors, I have decided to add a 10 mfd @ 
35V axial electrolytic capacitor to all re-cap kits for the HW-16.  This 
is to replace the original cathode bypass capacitor in the receiver's 
audio power amplifier stage.  The original cap was a 10 mfd @ 15V unit.

The inclusion of this capacitor will be done at *no charge*, and brings 
us to the point where a replacement for every electrolytic capacitor in 
the HW-16 is included in the kit.  The extra cap will be included on 
orders in house.

Here then is the updated list of capacitors included in the HW-16 Re-Cap 
Kit:

Qty. 1 - Multi-Section can-type capacitor:  47 mfd @  450V /  47 mfd @  
450V / 100 mfd @ 250V / 100 mfd @ 350V.
Qty. 2 - Radial-lead electrolytic capacitors for voltage doubler, above 
or under-chassis mount. 47 mfd @ 450V.
Qty. 2 - Axial-lead electrolytic capacitors for bias supply:  22 mfd @ 160V
Qty. 1 - Axial-lead electrolytic capacitor for cathode bypass, audio 
power amp: 10 mfd @ 35V.
Qty. 6" - De-soldering braid

All capacitors rated at 105C.

If you missed the particulars about the multi-section cap, I finally 
managed to put it on-line at http://www.hayseedhamfest.com/capkit.htm .

The first production run is finished and will ship next week.

Many thanks for all your support!
