In the late 70's - early 80's period, I had the privilege of working with a former tech from Dumont.  He had some great stories from the early days of television along with other tech stories.  It's too bad that I didn't write them down back then.  It would have made for a great historical record for our club.  I haven't seen him in years, but when I looked his name up, he is still with us at 93.  In case any of you know anyone who was with Dumont, his name is Roscoe Jones.  When I last worked with him back in 1981, he was working for a Piano / Organ dealer in PA.

If he is still with us Joe, perhaps there's still time to capture his stories. If he is still active you might invite him to a meeting to share the stories about Dumont with us. 

Best wishes.

John Dilks,
I saw your name at web page
http://www.njarc.org/clubprograms.html#mailinglist.
I see you are the guy who manages the email list for the NJARC.
I am moving and want to reduce my radio count. I have a National NBS-1 that
I would like to find a new home for. I thought maybe one of your club
members may be interested in purchasing it. I did not feel comfortable
joining the list to send one item so I am contacting you.
The radio works. Less than five minutes ago I tuned in to a few SW stations.
I have a manual for the radio.
A few of the tubes have been replaced with transistors. The included photos
have a picture of the modifications.
If you think the folks on your list would be interested I'd sure appreciate
it if you would post this email and accompanying pictures.
Thanks
Chuck Rush

Subject: [NJARC] Gernsback Official Radio Manuals (Jerry J. Ingordo)
Message-ID: <CAJucHkU40D8QJ18nxVpqYY+xdLnTOgCc1BVFV8pzdM8DXM80kg@mail.gmail.com>

Jerry,

Thanks for the lead to ebaman.com and your contribution of the Gernsback
manuals. They cost $5-10 in the 1930s when they were first issued and the
Amazon prices suggest that they haven't lost much in value.

I'm not a big fan of creating another username and password to remember, so
I encourage you to contact Pete Millett at info at tubebooks.org to add them
to his nice online collection at http://www.tubebooks.org/index.html, which
doesn't need a password, or David Gleason at david at americanradiohistory.com,
who is often willing to pay for shipping to scan publications at his huge
http://www.americanradiohistory.com/index.htm.

best, Alex

Don't thank me, thank David Gleason at david at americanradiohistory.com, who
is building the website as a way of paying forward for an industry that

There's PLENTY of parking.  Additionally, you can also pull up directly 
in front of the clubhouse if anyone need to be dropped off, and then 
park your car.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi.
I know this is off topic, but this particular group of people seems to like
old cars. If this email commits an offense, I'm sorry. I have a 1962 Buick
Electra 225 Riviera Hardtop in project condition that I need to get rid of.
Without too much detail, it has some repairable rust issues and the engine
is apart among some other more minor issues. I need to sell it as soon as I
can. Email me off list if you have any interest I want to get 750 if I can.

Thanks
Joe

Thanks for the suggestion, but I wonder how valuable it is when you consider that a box of 30 Ticonderoga No. 2's goes for only 
$5.97 on Amazon.com. Amazingly, an Amazon reseller is also offering the 30 pack "used" at $1.99 but doesn't say how much they have been used. 

Their high value may be the reason Aaron finds so many in the floor. 

Best wishes. 
Bob

Aaron, consider yourself lucky. When I went to school the bus driver often
found pieces of firecrackers on the floor of the bus.

Paul,

Thank you for the excellent catering at our party last night.  I've 
received numerous compliments, both last night and via email today, on 
the food _and service_.  Looks like our club has found a new venue for 
our future parties.

Thanks again,

Beyond a shadow of a doubt this year's holiday party was one of the best ones we have ever had. 

>From the beautiful venue to the delicious menu, everything was first class and very reasonable for all we got. 

Imagine - cloth tablecloths and napkins, real dishes, glasses?and silverware, wonderful service and no cleanup! 

Many thanks to Bill & Lynn for arranging for the perfect setting and to Marv, Richard, Dave and everyone 

else involved for all their hard work. 

We appreciate their efforts in coordinating these events and always look forward to them. 

? 

For those who did not attend? -? You really missed an enjoyable evening. 

?

Marsha & Jerry

I have two old timers, one is vintage 1930's  console with short wave built in, all original tubes and parts, cabinet needs refinishing, used to work but got a slight shock so haven't used it in years; the other is a console called a " Recordio" that is a radio and also cuts vinyl records, vintage 1948 with microphone , the owners and operators manuals  included ( may still work?)  I'm looking to sell both (estate sale in-family). Please call 862-242-7285 from  9a-5p if interested. Neal Toglia, Wayne NJ

Gang,

I just took delivery of this component tester.


You don't even have to know what component.  Just stick something in the 
zero-insertion-force socket, push the button, and the tin brain inside 
figures it out.  Does resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and 
bipolar and FET transistors.

The best part:  It's 15 bucks shipped from Duluth, GA. -
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221961865013?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

There are a bunch of these floating around on E-bay, but this appears to 
be the latest revision, with a really nice display and rugged battery 
holder.  You'll likely want to install in in some sort of box to carry 
around.

All this is made possible by a modern microcontroller that has analog 
inputs and outputs built in, so it can make the appropriate measurements.

Not much on the circuit board except the processor and an 8MHz crystal.  
Everything else in SMOP. (Simply a Matter Of Programming) Welcome to the 
21st Century!

Thanks to Robert Forte for making me aware of these things, and Joe Cro 
for kicking my butt to actually get one.

My apologies for the freak out,
Al

Gang,
 
 
 
I just took delivery of this component tester.
 
 
 
 
 
You don't even have to know what component. Just stick something in 
the zero-insertion-force socket, push the button, and the tin brain 
inside figures it out. Does resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, 
and bipolar and FET transistors.
 
 
 
The best part: It's 15 bucks shipped from Duluth, GA. - 
 
 http://www.ebay.com/itm/221961865013?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
 
 
 
There are a bunch of these floating around on E-bay, but this appears 
to be the latest revision, with a really nice display and rugged 
battery holder. You'll likely want to install in in some sort of box 
to carry around.
 
 
 
All this is made possible by a modern microcontroller that has analog 
inputs and outputs built in, so it can make the appropriate 
measurements.

Al -
        I think for 15 bucks this is a no brainer. Just bought my Christmas present! Funny thing is that I received a 2 confirmations from the seller. One in English, the other in Chinese.

P.S. - I dont know how Joe could like it since it's light, and has no iron! lol :)

Joe would probably just put a BC610 on top of it.

  Gang,
 
 I just took delivery of this component tester.
 
 
 You don't even have to know what component.? Just stick something in the zero-insertion-force socket, push the button, and the tin brain inside figures it out.? Does resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and bipolar and FET transistors.
 
 The best part:? It's 15 bucks shipped from Duluth, GA. - 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221961865013?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
 
 There are a bunch of these floating around on E-bay, but this appears to be the latest revision, with a really nice display and rugged battery holder.? You'll likely want to install in in some sort of box to carry around.
 
 All this is made possible by a modern microcontroller that has analog inputs and outputs built in, so it can make the appropriate measurements.
 uC data sheet here:? ATmega48A, ATmega48PA, ATmega88A, ATmega88PA, ATmega168A, ATmega1688PA, ATmega328, ATmega328P datasheet -atmel-8271-8-bit-avr-microcontroller-atmega48a-48pa-88a-88pa-168a-168pa-328-328p_datasheet_complete.pdf
 
 Not much on the circuit board except the processor and an 8MHz crystal.? Everything else in SMOP. (Simply a Matter Of Programming)? Welcome to the 21st Century!
 
 Thanks to Robert Forte for making me aware of these things, and Joe Cro for kicking my butt to actually get one.
 
 My apologies for the freak out,
 Al

I had bought an earlier generation of an LCR meter about 2.5 years ago for $23.00. ?Worked fine for a year then it quit. ?To be fair, the micro-controller was not in a package but was wire bonded to the circuit board and then epoxied in place. ?So it will be interesting to see how reliable this generation will turn out to be. ?Anyone else have this problem?Jim

beginning with Marconi who had nothing to do with AT&T, especially in

In case anyone hasn't seen this collector's Zenith Stratosphere and Crosley WLW, here's a link to a very detailed video of them both on youtube.  The WLW was likely one of the most expensive American radios ever made and certainly the largest of the era.  Head's up; this video, while giving a great tour of the two sets,  can be a pretty hokey.  Vintage CROSLEY WLW 1936 Console Antique RADIO - Rarest in the world!

The seller states that the refinished cabinet is as smooth as a fine 
quality Steinway grand piano. I found a bunch of Steinway's on eBay 
including a 1917 STEINWAY M 5'7" GRAND PIANO. REBUILT & REFINISHED for 
only $19,900.00

You still have to recone the tweeter for about $250.00 and the base of 
the radio is showing some aging (fine crackling) in the finish. So it 
still needs to be refinished at "low expense"!

What did you expect for only $19,100? And you still have to arrange for 
pickup!

 Hello John,
                  If you need a ride to pick up your Stratosphere I'll gladly take you in my car. It should fit in the trunk. I'll even bring some blankets etc so any scratches and bumps will be kept to a minimum.

Any of the early gang of club members who remember Tony Flanigan, the first NJARC president, know the story of how he got his Stratosphere. ?He felt so guilty that he paid so little for it that he went back to the seller and gave him more money! ?If you knew Tony, you know how hard that was for him to do.

 Well boys and girls........
                                               It came today just in time for the holidays..... Not the "Red Ryder" BB Gun, but my fresh in the box "technoweenie" stocking stuffer can test everything component tester.

                                               I opened the box, and there it was fresh in it's antistatic bag! I carefully removed it from the bag, inserted a fresh 9 volt battery, then placed a 10K resistor in the socket. 

                                               I pressed the button and "Presto"! the display read - no component found.

                                               Ok, maybe this was a fluke.... I'll try a cap and see what happens.  The display read - no component found.

                                               Guess I'll be calling the seller in Atlanta tomorrow and see if I'll get a refund/replacement.

                                               I'll be back with an update and let you know what happens!

Hi Bob,

My 2 came today.  I too tested one and found I had to use the three , 1 2 3 holes, not the ones marked 1 1 1 1.

Resistor and a cap checked out.

First the battery voltage shows, then the value.

My screen is loose.  I'll glue it tomorrow in place.

Let me know if you're OK now.

John -
                  I just re-tried mine, and it's working. I guess that the 1111 holes don't come into play until you start checking chips.

                 My display was loose too. Thanks for the tech help! 

                  This is good info to pass along in case any else decides to get one!

                 Next, I gotta find a box to mount this into.....

Bob,

You do realize that only the 3 pins on the left are active?  The others 
are bussed to pin 1.  See the lettering on the board.

Hope it's that simple,

Bob,

I got one of these in the Holiday Free-For_All on
Saturday. It works great - just need to find the right
combination of pins 1, 2 and 3 for any component.
Pretty simple. Great for getting value ranges for
variable caps, and transistor hfe and other stuff.

Only problem I had is it only measures inductance
when you connect an IF can. I was hoping to get
both L and C values.  Oh well, can't expect everything
for 15 bucks (or "free" in my case).

                             Harry K

The extra "1" connections are there just to make it easier to fit a
component (such as a power resistor) that might be longer than the space
between the main 1, 2 or 3.  All the 1s are connected together so you can
use any one of them, just use whichever one is most convenient for the lead
you're trying to insert. In other words, you can use any 1 plus a 1 or a 3,
or a 1 and a 2 and a 3, or a 2 and a 3, but not more than one 1. (Good
thing I can read Chinese!  Not.)

Hi Gang,

I made a PDF file of information I found on Ebay, attached

Spelling is from China, I guess?

73, John K2TQN

---///---
Gang, 

I just took delivery of this component tester. 

<s-l1600.jpg> 
You don't even have to know what component. Just stick something in the zero-insertion-force socket, push the button, and the tin brain inside figures it out. Does resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and bipolar and FET transistors. 

The best part: It's 15 bucks shipped from Duluth, GA. - 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221961865013?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 

There are a bunch of these floating around on E-bay, but this appears to be the latest revision, with a really nice display and rugged battery holder. You'll likely want to install in in some sort of box to carry around. 

All this is made possible by a modern microcontroller that has analog inputs and outputs built in, so it can make the appropriate measurements. 
uC data sheet here: ATmega48A, ATmega48PA, ATmega88A, ATmega88PA, ATmega168A, ATmega1688PA, ATmega328, ATmega328P datasheet - atmel-8271-8-bit-avr-microcontroller-atmega48a-48pa-88a-88pa-168a-168pa-328-328p_datasheet_complete.pdf 

Not much on the circuit board except the processor and an 8MHz crystal. Everything else in SMOP. (Simply a Matter Of Programming) Welcome to the 21st Century! 

Thanks to Robert Forte for making me aware of these things, and Joe Cro for kicking my butt to actually get one. 

My apologies for the freak out,

John,

Thanks for doing the legwork. It's great to have the
information, and I'm printing it out for sure.

To Chuck - mine didn't come with any paperwork -
it was a complete mystery; you can learn by trial
and error but John's data really helps!

                                 Harry K

John,

Thanks for doing the legwork. It's great to have the
information, and I'm printing it out for sure.

To Chuck - mine didn't come with any paperwork -
it was a complete mystery; you can learn by trial
and error but John's data really helps!

Hi Gang,

Loose screen,  mine was 

I found it was glued only along each side with rubber cement.

I scraped off the residue (old glue) and with a toothpick added new glue.  It seems to be holding OK.  Don't over glue it, the white background is necessary for a clear screen.  Glue just the very edge. (Left-right)

Now to get busy with 10,000+ old resistors and capacitors I have lying around....  ;-)

You don't even have to know what component. Just stick something in the zero-insertion-force socket, push the button, and the tin brain inside figures it out. Does resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and bipolar and FET transistors. 

The best part: It's 15 bucks shipped from Duluth, GA. -

There are a bunch of these floating around on E-bay, but this appears to be the latest revision, with a really nice display and rugged battery holder. You'll likely want to install in in some sort of box to carry around. 

All this is made possible by a modern microcontroller that has analog inputs and outputs built in, so it can make the appropriate measurements.

Al,

No. Because I received mine as a gift.

And I've always been told to beware of Geeks bearing gifts.

Ditto on the legwork.  Saves me time also. 

I haven't opened the package yet, but did notice the display moving 
around.  Didn't think that should be the norm.

As for boxes, check with Ray Chase.  He has a lot of battery radio 
cases,  unless you think they might be too big.  LOL

Al,  Setup a contest to see who can make a case or box for the "Technoweenie Tester".

Categories:  Most original, least expensive, most expensive, most enhanced, voted most popular by club members, --- anyone have more categories?

This should be fun!

Here's a custom made plastic box for it:
https://www.makexyz.com/3d-models/order/0fa66b19554d3b55a6b327020ec38e64

I'm pretty sure I WON'T be ordering one of those! :-)

Or you can get what appears to be the same device already installed in a
box:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-12864-LCD-Transistor-Tester-Capacitance-ESR-Meter-Diode-Triode-MOS-NPN-/262048664547?hash=item3d03514be3:g:RJAAAOSwsB9V9sve

It seems that we've officially arrived at the point where a little plastic
box costs more than the couple of million transistors inside it.

Where's a teeny-tiny cigar box when you need one?

OK.... Everyone who has one now is making their enclosure (including myself).

Now, all that box making effort should be building up an appetite for maybe a nice sandwich?

I remember working on a RF Erosion Machine for mold making, 2KW RF on 27

Pretty much the same principle, the delivery method is different.

Greetings

Thanks for all the information on this tester.  It works great,
It measures capacitance to very small pica farad.  I used a plastic container that use to hold screws on my peg board, 
wood spacers underneath the tester, clear plastic to see thru to the screen with cut outs for the pins and test button.

Hi All,

The first thing I did was to fabricate a set of test leads that connect
to the ZIF socket with a 14-pin header so I could measure components
that don't fit into the ZIF socket. (Pix *16, *17, *20)

Then I made up a cardboard template for a front panel, and it took
several iterations to get the placement right.  (Pix *23) The target was
a Dekaware box. (Pix *26, *27)

The plane of the display is not in line with the plane of the ZIF socket
and button, so I made up a clear spacer for the panel window opening.
(Pix *33)

The biggest job was cutting the front panel to match the template.
(Pix *34) Drills, saws, files, knives, ...  The handle on the ZIF socket
made things interesting!

I mounted the battery behind the board using the same mounting screws
that hold the board and clear window to the front panel. (Pix *36)
If the battery gets drained too quickly, I'll add an ON/OFF switch.

Finally I buttoned it up and tested it. (Pix *39, *41).

	--Al, W2ADS

Hi Al,

nice job!

I'm wondering if you could put a small bend in the aluminum leaver to help it stick up a little from the case?  And cut a small notch for a fingernail might also help.

I liked the mini-clip leads too.  I was thinking of using them too, but the IC socket works better than my idea.

73, John

Very nice job Al. I was thinking of doing a similar thing, but, eliminating
the socket completely and just using wires with clip leads. I would probably
keep the leads shorter to minimize inductance, but, as this unit does not
really measure sub micro-Henry and real small capacitors anyway, maybe it
does not matter. I have other similar meters that do go way down which are
better for RF work. This is more ideal for average most often encountered
work. Hope all had a Merry Christmas & I wish all a Healthy 2016 - 73 - Mike

Hi Bob -

Good video. Just in case you do not know, the inductor you were testing is
millihenries not microhenries. More than likely just a mistake on your part.

I hope everyone realizes when checking capacitors, only the value is 
checked, not the leakage current. 

I had some fairly new electrolytic capacitors that had dents in the 
cans.  I checked them with the checker and a good capacitance value was 
shown.  When I check them with my HeathKit capacitor checker, all dented 
capacitors had high leakage current.  The only one of the group to 
escape a dent tested good.

Tester purports to test ESR (although using an unspecified frequency and
presumably a low voltage. I'd need to be a 'real engineer' to have an idea
of how that might influence things.)  But assuming there's a correlation
between ESR and leakage current (and maybe there's not?) I'd figure you'd
get a bad ESR reading on a cap with damaged insulation.  (There's a lot I
need to learn about ESR.)

Leakage and ESR are two different phenomenon, that are often present
simultaneously, that degrade capacitor performance. ESR is Equivalent Series
Resistance and leakage is effective parallel resistance of a capacitor.
Leakage can be easily tested by just applying DC and measuring the current
drawn. This is why some of the older electrolytics run hot. ESR is in series
with the capacitor and has to be measured at an AC frequency applied where
the capacitors reactance is fairly low and calculable at the applied
frequency. The resistance in excess of the reactance is the ESR. ESR is more
of a concern in power supply filter capacitors and leakage is more of a
concern in coupling capacitors. 73 & a health 2016 - Mike

DaveESR stands for Equivalent Series Resistance so this phantom resistance is in series with the capacitor and is a small resistance when compared with leakage resistance. ?Leakage resistance is in parallel with the capacitor and is usually quite high. ?When leakage resistance is in the multi megohm range, it tends to be ignored much as ESR is ignored when it is below about 10 ohms or so. ?It is tough to measure leakage current or ESR with an ordinary ohmmeter. ?One usually needs quite a high voltage to measure leakage current and special techniques to measure ESR.
The exceptions to the above are when a capacitor is used in, for example, a high impedance circuit like a radio's AGC circuit and then even moderate leakage current plays havoc with the grid bias of the RF and IF tubes or when one is using a capacitor where very high currents are present so the ESR drops an appreciable voltage and reduces what is available to the rest of the circuit.
On consumer radios, I have no problem shot-gunning all capacitors since the PITA is getting the chassis out of the receiver and there are not that many caps to really worry about. ?On commercial / military radios for example, I disconnect the filter capacitor and put near the rated voltage on it but that voltage is in series with a power resistor of a high enough value so as to limit the short circuit current to about 10 mA and a high enough wattage so the resistor only gets warm to the touch so my fingers don't blister! ?
Once the capacitor reforms, and they always seem to reform since they are of higher quality then those in consumer radios, it is an easy matter to measure the voltage across the resistor with a very high impedance volt meter (DVM does nicely) and divide that value by the series resistor value. ?This gives you the leakage current for that particular capacitor. ?Sometimes the reforming goes on for several hours and once in a while, over night. ?Other times, the leakage current falls rapidly and things are good to go in less then an hour. ?It all depends on how long the capacitor sat uncharged and the quality of that capacitor.
Coupling and by-pass capacitors are always suspect in all radios. ?I usually disconnect several and do the above leakage test. ?If they pass with flying colors, I move on to the smoke test, otherwise I replace all.
All of this is done so the power transformer isn't stressed. ?Power transformers are usually the most expensive single component and the hardest to find replacements for. ?This is also a good reason to not put too high a value filter capacitor in as a replacement for the original. ?A larger value capacitor will have higher charging current which will cause the power transformer to get much hotter then normal due to the transformer's winding resistance and the higher charging current. ?Not to mention that the higher charging current will stress the vacuum tube rectifier too.Jim

Tester purports to test ESR (although using an unspecified frequency and presumably a low voltage. I'd need to be a 'real engineer' to have an idea of how that might influence things.) ?But assuming there's a correlation between ESR and leakage current (and maybe there's not?) I'd figure you'd get a bad ESR reading on a cap with damaged insulation. ?(There's a lot I need to learn about ESR.)?

I read with interest the comments from our learned radio collector 
experts.  So I decided to run a test of the multi tester against my 40+ 
year old Heathkit capacitor testor.

First let me preface this with my electronic training.  I graduated from 
Philadelphia Wireless Technical Institute 50+ years ago.  My grades were 
not stellar, so I won't go into them.  What I did manage to understand 
and learn, I've forgotten years ago.  I now drive a school bus, so you 
can see how my electronics background has paid off.  LOL

I fired up my Heathkit IT-11 and tested some electrolytics and compared 
the results with the multi tester.  The first thing I noticed this time 
was I had the Heathkit switched to non-electrolytic for the leakage test 
the other day.  This is why two of the dented electrolytics tested bad 
then but good when forced up to a working voltage of 450 with 500 Volts 
applied for a minute or two.  The other two dented capacitors were also 
forced to the working voltage, again using 500 Volts.  They took several 
minutes to reach the working voltage, one getting warm and the other 
showed signs of leakage, didn't take notice if it was warm or not.

The first three tests were with the Heathkit and bringing the capacitors 
up to the working voltage, then testing with the multi meter.  (Make 
sure to short the capacitor before inserting in the multi meter.)  I 
reversed the next two tests, using the multi meter first to see if there 
was a difference in readings after bringing the capacitor up to working 
voltage with the Heathkit.

Notice on the 5th capacitor, I took multiple readings with the multi 
tester and got varying results for value.  I couldn't find the specs. 
but it appears the 4th digit is meaningless and the 3rd questionable.  
To me, it seems to have an accuracy (regarding reproducibility) of about 
+- 10%.

The last two tests were with capacitors of the same value but different 
manufacturers.  They had even higher ESR values, which I don't know if 
that's good or not.

I still question reforming capacitors.  Did you recheck the capacitor 
after it sat for several days with no voltage?

Years ago, when my Sansui 5000 was about 8 years old, one of the channel 
fuses popped.  When I inserted another fuse, it worked fine until the 
next day when it would pop the fuse or take out the output transistor.  
I found if I inserted a resistor into the fuse socket first, I could 
then replace the fuse and use it off and on for the day, but the next 
day would have to do the resistor trick again.  This made for difficult 
normal trouble shooting techniques, so I pulled the mini electrolytics 
on the problem board.  Using the technique mentioned in an earlier 
email, I watched the current draw when voltage was applied and found the 
culprit.  Once it got up to operating voltage, voltage could be applied 
off and on all day and the capacitor would charge quickly each time.  
But let it sit for a day and you'd start all over again.  So again I 
ask, were those reformed capacitors rechecked after a few days to see if 
they needed reforming again?

I hope my chart comes across, otherwise this email was all in vain.

PS  I threw out the dented electrolytics!

AaronFor reforming electrolytic capacitors, I prefer the high voltage power supply with a series resistance. ?The enemy of all electronics components is heat. ?With the method described earlier, heat is not an issue because current is limited to 10 mA, worse case, and the capacitor under test never gets above room temperature. ?I personally wouldn't (again) risk damaging a cap checker or any other piece of test equipment when a simple power supply will do the trick. ?I now speak from experience about this!
Yes, I have noticed what you describe, when the whole reforming process has to be repeated. ?But I was careful to mention that I only bother to reform higher quality filter capacitors like those found in high end commercial and military radios. ?The consumer and low end "commercial" radios like hallicrafters and the like; I just replace them outright. ?
HP, the military and others spend the extra money to buy a better grade of filter capacitor. ?Once reformed, I have had no issues with any of them drawing excessive charging current days or weeks later. ?But, as is often said, your mileage may vary. ?
As an aside, it's funny to think that when a lot of our favorite radios were designed and built, no one was then thinking "I hope this thing lasts for 70 years!" ?But with a little TLC and modern components, it certainly has a better chance.
Have a great new year!Jim
