Cleaning up the tarboats
#6

Good deal Joe,

I will admit, than on a couple of the caps I rebuilt, I left a little bit of tar inside one of the blocks. Not much to cause any grief, it was just a small blob on the side of the shell Icon_smile

When I started rebuilding these, I completely removed them and did the sanitary cleanup, install the new caps and re-solder back in. Nowadays, if I can flip the block over, even if I have to remove one wire or so, I do that. Much faster and just as clean.

One thing, I don't know if I mentioned it or not, is to make a note under the chassis noting that the bloxks have been rebuilt wih a date. I simply pencil it in sometimes, or made a tiny label attached to the underside ststing the rebuild and date.
You don't want someone cutting them all out, thinking they are still the originals. Especially if you restuff wax caps.

Take care,
Gary.
