Hi John, Thanks for sharing how you shoe-horned those caps in your R4-B. A nice looking job.

Do you operate any 17 meters? 73, John W0DC ----- Original Message ----- From: "John_k7fd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2003 6:40 PM Subject: [drakelist] R-4B: C90 Electrolytic Changeout Successfull > > Keeping the original can intact but disabled, I ended up installing three > 100 uF @ 250v caps and one 22 uF cap underneath the R-4B.
