[Hammarlund] Caps?

[Al Parker]

Hi Bob,
	I pulled my SP-400 out today, to take a look at it.  It's pretty much 
original, the caps are the common tan waxed paper ones.  A cupla .25 
uf's at the rear.  You might pull one or 2 of yours and check them to 
get an idea of the general failure rate.  If what you have aren't 
Micamolds, you may be OK.
73,
