Please bear with these questions of a rank neophyte;
What is the function of the bakelite condenser?
What are the symptoms that a malfunctioning one would exhibit?
I'm attempting to tackle my first restoration (a Model 40-130) and I'm trying to learn as I go. The bakelite assembly may be in need of help (bulging tar), but before I do a rebuild and replace the two caps I'd like to know more about it.
