[Collins] In Need Of ..

[Stuart Martin]

If that cap isn't dried out, the leak can be stopped. I used a soldering
iron and resealed the top crimp with solder. If the ceramic insulator is
leaking, tighten it them. Try not to breath the fumes. The cap read 150 nf
on my Fluke 110. Yes, it does work.

New "Plastic" replacements can be bought in quantities of 100 from Plastic
Capacitors Inc., but they will require different mounting holes. PC will
provide mechanical drawings, but I never pursued the issue after the solder
fix.

Need a 0.15 uf  at 5000 volt capacitor for a Collins 30S-1 amp; the one
thats in it leaks oil and needs replacement.  Anyone got one that can be
begged, borrowed, bantered or bought reasonable?
