Howdy gang. I have a UHF Micor repeater that was having intermod issues. I traced the problem to ripple on the main power supply. After pulling this monster out and flipping it over I noticed electrolite leakage around two of the large capacitors. I would guess this is a pretty common failure for these supplies of this vintage. Ok now the big questions. What is the best way to replace these bad boys? The are riveted on to the chassis and the solder joints look like they require some kind nuclear powered soldering iron. Has anyone been able to disect the caps from the outside and "gut" them installing new smaller sized ones from the top without major machine shop work or soldering with open flame? Are there any tricks out there? Bill N5ZTW
