[R-390] capacitor analysis

Tue, 4 Jun 2002 15:21:47 -0700

I found one in a Bauer AM Broadcast transmitter.  I put a 'scope probe on a
screen of a driver tube and found RF.  Replaced the 0.01 Mfd cap and the RF
went away.  Tested the ceramic cap on a capacitor tester, and it didn't look
all that bad.  Pretty scary.

BTW, have several pre-punched paper tapes in round metal cans.  Don't know
what is on the tapes, but they look like they have been stored for a while.
