[R-390] BBOD caps/solder

[Tisha Hayes]

Getting to those caps in the turret on the SP-600 is a pain in the behind.
Since you are in there you probably want to clean up the contacts on the
turret and the fingers that the posts slide across. Be really careful, they
are pretty fragile. If you misalign anything when you are snapping the
little decks back into place you can break fingers off.

It was pretty tricky in the IF cans too, the magnet wire off of the
inductors is just in a really bad place relative to the capacitors.

I have seen those little blobs of solder on the ends of BBOD's too. I think
one time I accidentally overheated one and the lead came right off of the
cap body. It has been +20 years but I too had some recollection that there
was a larger conductor inside of the cap that the lead attached to.

"In this denial of the right to participate in government, not merely the
degradation of woman and the perpetuation of a great injustice happens, but
the maiming and repudiation of one-half of the moral and intellectual power
of the government of the world." -- Fredrick Douglass, 1848
