[Hallicrafters] SX-101 Question

[Larry]

Thanks for the info Mark.  Most of the tubular capacitors are branded 
"Tiny Chiefs"and are pink in color.  I am assuming these are about as 
bad as BBOD's.  I haven't checked any for leakage yet.  Your web page 
will be very useful for removing the sub-chassis.
Thanks,
Larry W4LK
