[Hallicrafters] Paper cap substitutes on 50 kHz if Hallis?

[Pagel, Mike]

Hello Jack and others:
 
I'm recapping a SX-101 Mk1 right now and the little pile of "Tiny Chief" caps is growing on my bench.  My rig has a fistful of black beauty caps as well.  Were these common to the SX-101 or might mine have been installed later?

	I too would like to see comments as I changed all of the Tiny Chief caps in
	my 101 and it seems to work just fine.

	> All:
	> I read something of interest recently on Electric Radio.It concerns us
	changing the paper caps out on 50Kc if Hallicrafters Radios (SX-100, 101,
	111, etc) with the newer plastic ones we see in various places like Antique
	ES.
	> FYI, the old paper caps were described in the article as being more of an
	RLC combo rather than just a plain old cap and the engineers literally had
	to incorporated those characteristics into the receiver. The newer caps were
	far closer to an ideal C than the older stuff so say a .01uF cap in the old
	days would have some inductance and resistance inherent in it's design while
	the new mylar caps would be closer to the .01uF without any significant L or
	R. Apparently, changing out to the new caps can have a negative effect on
	those aforementioned rx's. Anyone care to comment on this? Thanks. Cal,
