Hello,

I've been working on a model 650 with help here and there from the phorum. Last night I finished recapping, and played the radio with success for about an hour while dxing and listening. Today after replacing the shadow meter pilot light and cleaning the chassis, the 8mfd cap that replaces one of a dual in can 77 blew out when I fired it up. I've gone over everything looking for a bad solder joint, broken connection, shorted connection. I replaced the cap, and it blew out again. I'm not finding my error. Maybe the experts have an idea of what would cause this after it working okay.

Thanks,

Dave
