[Drake] Electrolytic Caps inside TR-4C?

[David Walker]

Many many thanks to all that have responded.  It has been extremely 
helpful and confidence building. 

I replaced the caps by reposting new ones to the various wires.  
Needless to say I used plenty of heath shrink over exposed cap legs and 
connections to ensure nothing shorted to earth. 

However, I was not happy about the appearance no matter how neat I tried 
to be about it, and when I did the smoke test the hum in the audio was 
still present.  But the audio quality was a little improved and more 
full bodied than before.

So I ripped it all out and returned it to orginal for now.  I have the 
AC4R from the heathkitshop arriving soon and I will install that and 
then work back from there.  I notice 4 section cap cans for sale ie 
hayseed, and I will do that. 

I can't rebuild it myself as the caps from my supplier - for instance 
they are large and I had to paired 2x10uF to get the 20uF value etc.. so 
I am a bit compromised at this stage. 

I figure a few bucks for a new 4 section cap would be worth it.

Regards,

Dave.
