I know this RX has been discussed many times here, but those e-mails are long gone. Setting up my SX-101A at the new QTH in Reno, the power supply caps didn't apparently like the move. This RX is mostly all original, but worked fairly well since I bought it about 15 years ago, until we moved. While I have her open, figuring I should replace all the black beauties in there, what type of cap is best for the job? I am not interested in maintaining originality, just in keeping performance reasonable. This is no museum queen, but a workhorse. Any other major caveats on the SX101A? (And my alignment tools stay locked up unless ABSOLUTELY NEEDED!) Thanks in advance.
