Hi, all.  I'm still attempting to help everyone keep those Heathkit 
HW-16's out there running.

Toward that end, I am now able to supply a multi-section can-type filter
capacitor for the HW-16, as well as full HW-16 power supply re-cap 
kits.   These are not on my web-site ( www.hayseedhamfest.com )
as yet, but here are the main details:

HW-16 MULTI-SECTION CAP:

These are fresh, brand-new capacitors in twist-loc type cans  They are
not N.O.S. or re-stuffs.

They are a drop in replacement for the original cap - no modifications
needed.

They are intended to upgrade as well as replace the original unit.

The operating temperature rating has been raised from 85C to 105C.

The voltage ratings have been increased to more realistically handle
higher B+ due to today's typical a.c. line voltages.

The terminals are identified on the bottom wafer and also on the can,
per the original, i.e. half-moon, square, triangle, and blank. The can 
is negative (ground), of course.

The terminals are copper for easy soldering.

They will be furnished with phenolic mounting wafers.

Below are the specs of the original units vs. the specs of the new
capacitors:

ORIGINAL (85C)    NEW UNIT  (105C)
40 mfd @ 350V   /   47 @  450V
50 mfd @ 350V   /   47 @  450V
80 mfd @ 200V   /   100 mfd @ 250V
80 mfd @ 300V   /   100 mfd @ 350V

The prototype has been produced and accepted.  Full production is to
begin within two weeks.

Amateur net for the multi-section cap =  $19.95 ea. + shipping.

HW-16 P.S. RECAP KIT:

For convenience, I can supply a kit consisting of one (1) of the above
multi-section caps, plus:

2 - 47 mfd @ 450V 105C radial electrolytic caps (for under chassis
mounting).
1 - Double 20 mfd @ 160V 105C electrolytic cap (for the bias supply).

Amateur net for the kit: = $29.95 ea. + postage.

I'd be glad to answer any questions or take orders in advance at
tom at hayseedhamfest.com .

Tnx es 73,
Tom  .  .
