Thanks Tony That makes sense, I'll replace the 510mmf in the circuit since I dont have the gear to check them. I wonder how you figured out it was cooking before damage occured? All that stuff is tucked away behind the shield and hard to see. I have always felt like the silver mica caps were a pretty safe bet that they are ok, but as I hear stories from different groups it sounds like they fail like all other 50 year old componets.

Turned out to be the 510 mmfd silver mica coupling caps were leaky. replaced em with .01 orange drops. Check it before the thing roasts the new transforker! -Tony, K1KP _______________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio
