[Milsurplus] Micamold caps

[Richard Arland, W3OSS]

Hi Brad:

I have a BC-312 that I am going to restore later this winter. I was 
wondering the same thing...are the Micamold caps worth the hassle? I'm 
interested in the replies you might get on this question. Al Klase, N3FRQ, 
told me that they were a real pain in the tail to replace. Just wondering if 
it is worth the trouble.
