[Milsurplus] BC-348R Caps

[Joe Connor]

I'm currently working on a BC-348R. I am in the process of replacing all the .01/500V Micramold paper caps. I know what a bad reputation they have and I replace them as a matter of routine.

>I am curious, however, about the caps inside the detector, RF and antenna boxes. They are .01/300v. According to the manual, they are mica, not paper. They look much different than the Micramolds. (They're brown, not black, and heftier and thicker than the micramolds).
> 
>Should I replace these mica caps as a matter of course or only if leaky? They're inside the boxes so they will be a bit of a pain to get at.
