[Hallicrafters] Black Beauty capacitors in the HT37

[Mark Shaum]

Yes, mine were changed out with the newer yellow poly things a while
back when my HT-37 began to see frequent use.  I couldn't recall how
many there were, so the parts list reference was checked.  come to think
of it, I'm not sure if I changed the two in the SSB generator
sub-assembly or not.  Something more to check at a future time.

 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?
