April 5.

Let's rebuild part (108) - the three-section capacitor in a metal can.

Having removed this from the tuner chassis, the first thing to do is pry open the tabs which hold the insides in place.

Now, the innards easily pull out from the can.

I put together the replacements - two new 0.1 uF caps and one new 0.68 uF cap.

I put the original gray insulating paper back into the can and then put this assembly of new caps into the can. You can repot the unit with hot glue if you wish; it will hold everything in place as well as keep everything well insulated. And the hot glue does not harm these capacitors.

Don't forget to place the black insulator through which the wires protrude back in place, and fold the tabs back over.

The common (ground) lead is soldered to the outside of the can (not shown here).

The finished product, all new inside:
