[Swan] SORRY - Re: Swan 350 117XC power supply and power inputcabledrawings

Sun Jul 19 17:27:39 EDT 2009

Jim,

Glad you received the manual. I bought my capacitors from Antique Electronic
Supply (www.tubesandmore.com) but there are several places selling the
correct ones. Check the dimensions of your caps and make sure the new ones
will fit. In reality most of the new ones are smaller so no problem - but
check for sure.

In the 500C and 500CX there is one elecrolytic inside the radio (in addition
to the ones in the power supply) - I replaced that one as well. It may be
different in the 350 - so check for sure.

Let us know how it works out.

73,

-Bill, WA9MXQ
