[Hallicrafters] BBOD's and old caps in general

[TC Dailey]

I frankly don't understand even BOTHERING with BBOD's  They're BAD, ipso 
facto.  A month ago, I began the repair on an HRO-60, which had dull-red 
plates on the rectifier, loud hum, and flashing at the function switch - 
somebody had installed a BBOD from the audio-output screens point to ground 
(C-124), so I checked IT first;.  The cap measured 8 ohms across, so 
basically a dead-short.  They're just bad.
