[Kenwood] Filter caps for TS-820 / TS-830 ...

[WR2E]

Joe,  I've used the caps in the link below to repair several 820/830 rigs.
They fit right into the existing clamp.  Just connect the two sections in
paralell and away you go.  I advise picking up two new resistors and disc
caps that are across the old ones before you tackle the replacement.  It's
MUCH easier than trying to re-use the old ones.  The insulation on the wire
they used isn't very heat resistant, so you might also want to have some
small heat shrink tubing on hand before you start, cuz you will need it to
repair the insulation after it melts off the wire.

This website is "framed", but the link below will take you directly to the
item.  It's a long link so you might have to cut and paste it into your
browser.  The company is "Antique Electronic Supply".

The main website is  http://www.tubesandmore.com  if you can't get that to
work.   In the left frame, click on CAPACITORS, then  MULTI-SECTION, then
"(JJ Electronic) LCR Type"  then scroll down to the  50-50, 500 volt model.
