Got bored today so took my 37-690 apart
#6

Skip,

Great work. This isn't an easy task, but it is easier than it looks and worth the effort. I tore the RF sub-chassis out of my 37-650 because I was bound and determined that every cap in the radio would be replaced. However, it never occurred to me to test it BEFORE putting it back in! It worked just fine. You did a great job, be proud! Joe

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM

Just forget this number, it is useless anyway. Simply proceed with your project.morzh — 10:08 PM

My $0.02 is that it is a misprint. I tried to look up the value for the similar 84 and 37-84, and ther is no resistance...MrFixr55 — 09:51 PM
