[Hammarlund] Cleaning SP-600 coil fingers, lube question?

[Phil Atchley]

Hi Al.
It turned out to be the micas in the Osc module (no big surprise there).  I
replaced C95 (51pF) with a 48pF cap and C96 (610 pF) with 3 parallel caps
totaling 620pF, all 5% 1KV, dipped silver micas.  (I bought a big bag of
those things in various values once and they're slowly disappearing)  I
wasn't sure which cap it was so did them both at the same time so I'd have
to use the crowbar to pry the module out only once ;-)  I thought the slight
change in values might pull the frequency significantly but it didn't.  Not
that I could really tell since it bounced around so much before.

> Figured I'd get back to the bad one & replace the micas in it, haven't got
a round tuit yet.

I need some of those "Round Tuits" too!
