[EICO] RE: [BoatAnchors] Capacitor replacement when restoring

[Crapse, Richard W (Rick), SOBUS]

I would also look at the high voltage disk ceramic caps for leakage. My poor
abused FT-102 had very poor leaking caps.

Subject: [BoatAnchors] Capacitor replacement when restoring

Ok, I realize that this is a simple question, and I should already know
this, but WHICH
caps beside the electrolytics should be replaced when doing a total
rebuild/restoration?
I am now doing an Eico 753 but will be following shortly thereafter with
my R390A.

Do I have to worry about the ceramic disks? They all test good with the
Fluke DVM , and otherwise look ok. What I sm conserned about, besides
the electrolytics are the silver mica, the molded silver mica, and the
mylar ones.

Any info here is appreciated...also, if someone has a male Amphenol MC2M
plug, or prefably 2 of them...I wouldnt complain if they had the
matching receptacle as well, let me know.... I do want to get this thing
back on the air ASAP. Yes I do have a second, and works reasonably well,
but I am doing a complete teardown and restore on the first.
73 es tnx
