Capacitor Source

[Keith Rowland]

Thanks to the gentleman who supplied the source for capacitor rebuilding.
Sure wish I had known about it before I had to redesign the power supply in my
AL-80 to accomodate available capacitors of a lower voltage rating!

One thing...I notice he requires payment in advance, which i can certainly
understand.  For one thing, once you've rebuilt one, there's little likelihood
of finding a market for it if the original buyer defaults. But you mentioned
he was rebuilding a really big one for a radio station.

One can hope that he absolutely got payment up front for that one.  Either
that or hope he's doing it for one of the minority of radio operations that
can pay their bills.

73,

Keith
