[Hammarlund] caps

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

As far as I know, the "C" suffix to indicate a clock started
with the HQ-100/110/145/170180 receivers.

My preference is to leave the original FP cans in place and install modern replacement caps under the chassis. I don't know about the "129", but in my HQ-145 there is more than ample room. Of course, you can gut the original can and re-stuff it with new caps. There are a couple of fellows that provide this service, but they use plated steel cans instead of the original aluminum.

>> Hello to the list. I am restoring two HQ129X receivers.One has the red writing and the other has the white. Is there a place or does anybody have the multi can caps ? I am also looking for the plastic lens over the readout with the line through it. One other thing, the oldest HQ129x with the red writing has HQ129XC. Does anybody know what the c means? Rick VE7RiK
