[Hallicrafters] sx16

[Nick via Hallicrafters]

 The original C-46 is a BIG sized  paper capacitor rated at 1mfd 400V.Modern replacements can be found at sites like Antique Electronics.
However,this cap can be easily replaced by a HIGHER value electrolytic like 8-10mfd 450V cap ,this is just an audio bypass cap .And this is exactly what Hallicrafters did  on the later versions of the SX-17's which has identical circuitry to the '16 .Also replace all the other paper caps and electroytics if you haven't already done so.The audio interstage transformer almost always has an OPEN primary thanks to a leaky cap in the TONE circuit lets hope you don't have this problem !

some testing with multi-meter etc...now the problem: have found a 1mfd 450 volt 
cap. has been removed, cannot find one locally, tried to order on from an 
electronics company, they wanted more info than i could give, someone point me 
in the right direction? can't go any further.
