[Milsurplus] BC-342 High B+ Current

[Tom Norris]

I've not seen one of those caps *not* be leaky.  The worst offender is  
the cap just underneath the VFO socket, and nearly as impossible to  
get to as the ones in the 3 removable sections underneath.
Rectangular versions of the Black Beauty of Death.

I have a sick URM-25F that needs a cap-ectomy -- the *one* bad cap is  
a large black micamold "RBBOD" (Rectangular Black Beauty of Death)*  
that sits behind and under the output stage and appears to require  
removal of the front panel to gain access.  Bleh.

Tom

* Or should they be called "Black Micamold Of Doom" to distinguish  
them from the axial variety of BBODs?
