[Hallicrafters] Black Beauty capacitors in the HT37

[Bill Gerhold]

I think the original name is "Bumblebee" capacitors.

Bill, 	
	
I have black beauties in my HT-37, and so far for
the past 2 years, haven't had a problem with them.

Oh ye of so little faith! Patience Bill, patience. They will not fail to
live up
to their notorious reputation and you may wish that you had removed them
before
they did so too! (chuckle)	
	
I wonder: How did this capacitor come by the nickname it has anyhow?

If you do not have any black beauties in your HT-37, you are lucky indeed.
However, if you have any of the reddish or pink looking tubular caps, they
should be changed also.  I have black beauties in my HT-37, and so far for
the past 2 years, haven't had a problem with them.

Joe,

There are some paper caps in my the HT-37, I can't recall if they are
the striped black beauties or not. The manual parts list refers to the
following as molded paper capacitors: C85, 89, 204, 108 and 109.  The
latter two are in the SSB generator assy.  I'm in the middle of moving
the contents of the shack to permit shack wall scrubbing, recarpeting
and new lighting (to shelves in a climate-controlled outbuilding, a.k.a.
the winter shack) so my HT-37 is not nearby to quickly flip over and
peek.  For that matter, just having carried a HT-41 the approximate 150
feet from shack #1 to shack #2 I'm not going to move anything back
heavier than a S-38 for a while.

I'll check over the weekend and let you know.  I need to install a 2-pin
mic connector in my 37 anyway now that I found one that won't require
changing the hole size in the front panel.

 After just looking into the bottom of the HT37 I couldn't find a Black
Beauty cap anywhere....all I could see besides the electrolytics (which
I
 am going to replace) were Erie type disc capacitors.
Were there originally any Black Beauty caps in the HT37?
Am I missing something?
