[Hallicrafters] SX-73 / R-274 Starting Resto

[thoyer]

I did an SP-600 years ago and took apart the bathtubs and replaced the guts.
I'll probably go the terminal strip route this time.....

The only problem with the crystal is that it was missing from the radio when
I got it!

     What a lot of work! Congratulatons!  I would not bother to leave the
bathtub caps in place but would remove them and mount terminal strips in
their place, maybe I misunderstood and this is what you plan to do. I did
the same thing when replacing the leaking oil-filled paper caps in my RCA
AR-88A. I have a couple of SP-600s on the back burner that probably need new
bathtub electrolytics and will do them the same way.
     What is the problem with the IF crystal filter? Perhaps its not the
crystal itself or perhaps it can be fixed by baking. Even when ICM was still
in business they told me they did not have such crystals.
