[Premium-Rx] Sp600 recap kit

[Cecil acuff]

Not all!  Some came from the factory with .01 ceramic disk caps.  But don’t be lulled into believing all is well.  I’ve found several that still had paper caps in the RF deck even though they had ceramics everywhere else!

I’m afraid that if I tackle this project on a piecemeal basis it will never get done and a fine radio will be lost.  Any help or references are greatly appreciated.
