Speaking of which if you are restuffing any potted condenser cap, even if it originally had dry electrolytics in it, the film caps is the ONLY way to go.

There are a few cans used in the 38-690 that might require electrolytic replacements.

For one, 30-2201 (8 uF 450V and 10 uF, 50V), I might be able to use film for both.

But another, 30-2249 (8 uF 475V, 3 uF 475V, 2 uF 300V) - I think film for all three might be too much to fit in one can.

And then there's one can on the tuner chassis, 30-2247 ( 2 uF 450V, 1 uF 450V X2, 10 uF 50V, 2 uF 300V). That's five caps in one can. I think I'll have to restuff that one wilth all electrolytics.

I think I'm going to use these for the three missing 8 uF cans:

For the 18 uF cap, I am thinking of using two Solen Fast 8 or 10 uF 600V axial caps in parallel, stacked one above the other inside the can. The Arcotronics/Kemet 8 uF axial from Mouser might not fit inside the can (diameter of the cap is 1.36" and the outer diameter of the can is 1.375"; inner diameter will be slightly smaller). The diameter of the Solen 8 uF cap is 1.18" which will fit much easier.

Solen caps have been ordered. I haven't ordered any of the others yet.

For the 30-2201, use one Solen 10uf/630v and one Wima 10uf/63v Mouser p/n 505-MKS4C051005FKH00. This capacitor is 1.04"L x .334"W x .728"H and will easily fit with the Solen.

For the 30-2249, use one Solen 10uf/630v for the 8uf, and two Panasonic 2.2uf/450v in parallel to replace the 3uf, and one Panasonic 2.2uf/450v to replace the 2uf/300v. Mouser p/n 667-ECW-FD2W225K. These will all fit inside the can. The Panasonic film cap is .69" L x .437W x .56"H.

For the 30-2247, use one each of the Panasonic 2.2uf/450v for all the caps but the 10uf/50 volt. Use the Wima 10uf/63v unit for this one. It is a little tight, but they will fit.

These are the caps I used, so I know they will fit inside the cans.

Best regards,
