[Hallicrafters] SX-101 Question

[Al Parker]

Hi Larry, Mark, et al,
	I was wondering if Mark found any difference in leakage between the 
BBOD's & the Tiny Chiefs.
	12-13 yrs ago I was into my first SX-101 and the sel. sw. was 
surrounded by Tiny Chiefs.  I pulled a few loose & ckd them, they didn't 
leak so I left them.  Don't remember if I compared them to BBOD's then. 
  Recently I've been into an SX-96 which had a mixture of BBOD's and 
Tiny Chiefs.  I checked almost all, and found very few with objectional 
leakage, I think the T-C's were a bit better than the BBOD's.  I didn't 
change the T-C's on the sel. sw., did the 2 BBOD's on it, and did 
everything else.
	One of these days I'll get into the SX-101A I've been using as found 
for about 5-6 yrs.
	I need to pull out the ER articles and see if Ray O. mentions 
differences, and if he found discs vs BBOD's in the subchassis.
73,
