Hammarlund HQ-129-X
#16

So it seemed that I had replaced all of the set's paper capacitors which had been missed by a previous owner.

Or had I?

Hmmm...what could be inside this round can under the 6SJ7 tube?

   

Let's see if we can remove the round shield. Yes, it pulls right off with very little effort:

   

Surprise! Two more old .05 uF paper capacitors and a few other components.

It turned out to be easier than I thought it would be to replace these.

   

Now, having replaced the power cord and reattached the round shield under the 6SJ7 to cover those new components, let's hook up that restuffed twist-lock electrolytic can.

   

Looks MUCH better than that jury-rigged set of electrolytics...

more...
