[Hallicrafters] SX117 Receiver

[Paul Kraemer]

A lot of transformers run warm even hot to the touch. A case temperature of 
about 112 deg F is considered to be too hot to hold and that is still 
reasonable and to be expected. The can cap should not be warm except for 
what it picks up from it's surroundings.
I'd be careful jumping the value of C that much. I tried it on mine and it 
didn't help anything, in fact, it made some of the lower voltages too high.
You can get the correct values in radial lead units stuffed into that 
original can for a first rate rebuild. Just takes a little planing.
