[Hammarlund] Caps?

[Bernie]

Bob,
I've re-capped several Hallicrafters, Hammarlunds, an old Ncational, and a 
Heathkit and have never found any of the postage stamp ceramic caps to be 
bad or even leaky. I just concentrate on the paper electrolytics, the black 
beauties and the red plasitc coated ones, and resistors that have gone 
sky-high in their resistance.
Have you done an allignment?  Sometimes that's all that is needed.  73
