[Heathkit] DX100 b HV filter cap rebuild

[RAY FRIESS]

good project, but I'm not sure I will go to that extent.  I have to rebuild the power supply section of my 100b which blew
it's top a few years ago.  Havent had time to get to it until now.   I just want to get the thing back on the air, paired up with
my hq 180 receiver.
