I just finished exchanging emails with Tom over at Hayseed, and it turns out he is going to be adding AC-3 & AC-4 capacitor rebuild kits to their product set. I just ordered two (since I have an AC-3 and an AC-4) as well as a TR-3 kit.
With the other TR-3 I picked up, I should have some nice winter projects ahead. Note, these kits are more expensive than the Heathkit Shop board, but if you are interested in keeping as original as possible the Hayseed kits are a good way to go. Also, because of the holidays, lead-time is stretching out. Tom said the kits should be up on their web site this weekend. Here is the information about the kits... 73 - Mark N1VQW P.S., no financial interest, just trying to support those who support our hobby. ------------------------------ We recently began offering the AC-3 and AC-4 can-caps kits. At the present time they are available as complete kits (with either 4 or 5 can-caps) on an order-out basis. Presently, we are taking orders for mid-December}. There's actually two different ways to go on this. The original kit for the AC-3/AC-4 supply consists of the following cans: 1 - 100 uF @ 160V 1 - 2 x 100 uF @ 450V 1 - 2 x 33 uF @ 160V 2 - 150 uF @ 450V All sections are rated at 105C degrees. The second type of kit is similar to the original, but combines the two (2) 125 uF can-caps in a single can. This configuration allows a significant cost savings. The can is essentially a two-section 125/125 uF @ 450V can, except that each section is isolated from the other and has separate positive and negative terminals. The 5 can-cap kit costs $133.00 + S&H. This is a savings of about $30.00 over purchasing the cans separately. The 4-can-cap kit, utilizing the combined 125/125 uF@ 450V can-cap sells for $113.00 + S&H. _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
