Is there a preferred type of cap to replace the .1uF 200v paper caps C256
and C309 in the heater circuit for HR202, the 17Mc and 200Khz crystal
oven..?
I originally replaced them with .1uF @ 400v film caps and wondered if film
caps are appropriate for shunting the noise from the thermal switching.
I'm hearing some "crashing" sounds when I tap the area around HR202, which
worsens when I tap directly on the top of the oven assembly itself.
Could it be noise from the make and break of the thermal switch itself when
the oven is tapped like that...?
I've got the RF deck out right now and I'm trying to eliminate any remaining
issues before I button it all back up...
Thanks in advance for any advice..!
