[Hammarlund] HQ-180 alignment w/rewound coil

[Paul Kraemer]

They can be replaced with new sm capacitors or I actually repaired mine with 
epoxy and devising a clamp to compress the brass rivet tight while epoxy 
set.  Worked perfect after that

>> Hi all,

>> 73 for now and thanks for everyones help in getting me through these
