[Hallicrafters] BBODs

[Jim Liles]

Tom,

I totally agree.  The BB caps can and will do damage not if but when.

Thanks for the response and reminding me.  

Kindest regards Jim K9AXN

BBODs - Black Beauties of Death -  have been discussed ad nauseum here, but 
point of fact is that they're BAD.  Period.  I've seen 'em split, 
DEAD-shorted, leaky, and every other thing.   You may not see immediate 
improvement, but not changing them will result in DEATH of many things; not 
the least being the B+ windings on your pwr xfmr.  Yes, there are many 
differences in caps, and the explanation by Jim, was spot on.
