Re Capping
#5

Rfinn5:

Is there a particular reason you're replacing the small value mica caps in the set?
Did they test bad or physically broken?
Normally these small caps are not an issue when restoring a set. They are usually found in the RF tuning section and unless I am having a tuning problem when aligning the front end, I leave them alone.

electrolytics & paper - always replace

mica & ceramic - almost never replace.

Unless you are really anal......
