[Hallicrafters] SX-100 Mk2

[David C. Hallam]

Well, my SX-100 Mk2 is on the bench.  I have installed a real line cord 
with an under chassis fuse and AC bypass capacitors.  Now I am waiting 
for the recap kit from Tom, N0JMY.  It appears that all the paper 
capacitors are CD Tiny Chiefs.  At least the filter capacitor can isn't 
solidly soldered to the chassis and won't need a blow torch to get it 
loose.  I've had a couple of HT-37's where it looked as if the filter 
capacitor was the first thing installed and then completely soldered to 
the steel chassis.  Trying to get enough heat to melt the solder without 
destroying lots of other things was a real job.

All of the sealing enamel on the adjustable coils and transformers 
appears intact so I guess no one has done any fiddling around with the 
alignment.

I will start checking resistors while I wait for the capacitors.  I see 
a couple of scorched ones.
