Firstly thanks to all who replied to my original post, if I didn't reply
personally..
On closer inspection I have so far found 2 ceramic door knob capacitors that
were falling apart !! These were not in the input coil alignment section,
but near the valves and band-switch in the amp.
For you RF guru's out there... I have a couple of questions..
1. Is it possible to solder these capacitors back together ? They are the
flatter type doorknob caps and basically what has happened with both of them
is that the one of the screw housings has fallen off the side of each cap
(hope this makes sense).
2. Secondly, if this is not advisable, can I just replace these with the
standard type (barrel shaped) door knob caps, as long as the KV rating is
greater or equal to that of the originals ?? Surplus sales have these for
under $20US each
Again apologies for the off topic post
Regards from a chilly Sydney..
