"Tim Kass" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the drakelist gang ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kevin,
I dont remember what W8UT did, probably the same thing that Im telling you, but I saw a neat fix that someone did on one of my R4B's, left the electrolytic can in place so it looked stock, but cut all the leads from it underside and wired in separate small electrolytics...works great. Otherwise, its difficult to find replacements. I have found some at Mendelson's Surplus in Dayton,Ohio, they have alot of NOS but I was alittle concerned about them being dryed up, I bought some and used them in my Hammarlunds, they were fine. I don't know if they will get them for you however, Mendelson's is a huge surplus place, about the physical size of a football field, with rows and rows of NOS as well as used parts in bins. I go up there about twice a year to stock up on parts and hardware, they also sell screws, nuts, bolts, etc. for $100 a pound.

WD-40, Balin' wire, silicone sealant and duct tape, pretty much fixes everything!

I am working on a R4B and have a noise when I turn on the rig. I am assuming
it is the caps in the Can. I looked on the Drake site and saw that W8UT had
a good fix. I was wondering if anyone has tried this method of fixing a R4B
or if there is anywhere to buy a can already manufactured with these caps.
Thanks
Kevin
