[Drakelist] 2-C PS Cap replacement
Hi Darrel I haven't seen Hayseed's kit or how it is installed on the 2-C, although I will need to eventually. But many do work from the bottom on other rigs just to leave the cans and all on top looking original if for no other reason than nastalgia; certainly not deception, since you are going to be so much better off in the end.

Re: [Drakelist] 2-C PS Cap replacement
I would HIGHLY recommend the Hayseed kits, and have done the under chassis trick in the past as well. The kits are clean, and looks original. I have had excellent luck with them, and you have revived the gear for another 30 to 50 years in the process! Tom's kits look and work as advertised, no problems here with SEVERAL kits and a good price to boot! 73, Don, WB5HAK___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

God bless 73 jb kg6biw His caps are cans and may be re-stuffed originals since they have a seam at the top and wires soldered to the tabs. The advantage is that they fit in the original space. New caps can certainly be mounted under the chassis but in some equipment they are hard to fit in. Much Drake stuff is very tight inside. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL dickb...@ix.netcom.com ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

Darrel - The HayseedHamfest caps are ALL NEW construction, including the can, phenolic washer and terminals. The internal caps are 105 degree rated. They are drop-in replacements down to the terminal indicators. Definitely the best 'almost official' replacement. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 2-C/2-NT, 4-A, 4-B, C-Line and TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs www.k4oah.com - Original Message - From: john xjjb...@yahoo.com To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 8:31 AM Subject: [Drakelist] 2-C PS Cap replacement Hi Darrel I haven't seen Hayseed's kit or how it is installed on the 2-C, although I will need to eventually.

Usually re-stuffed caps are opened at the bottom not the top. the cans on Tom's stuff do NOT look used at all. I had some correspondence with someone who asked about where the seams were and the nature of the connections. He thought they were restuffed but Tom talks about a factory making them and, as said, they look too new to be recycled. I'm glad there has been a definite clarification. I have Tom's caps for both Drake and Hallicrafters stuff. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL dickb...@ix.netcom.com ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
[Drakelist] 2-C PS Cap replacement
Has anyone done a recap on a 2-C? Any ideas of sourcing the can (20-40-60uf@150V)? It doesn't appear I'll be able to gut the cap case and put new caps inside due to space problems. Two might fit, but three? Of course I could leave the can and add new to a terminal strip below, but that hints on abomination. I've looked all around and not having much luck. Any advice greatly appreciated. 73, de Darrell W4CX ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

Hi Darrell, I recently re-capped a 2-C and used the 2-C can cap kit from Hayseed Hamfest. Here is the link: http://www.hayseedhamfest.com/ Very satisfied with the results and I am just a happy customer and nothing more. 73, Tom, W1CC On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 4:39 PM, Darrell Gordon dg_gor...@bellsouth.netwrote: Has anyone done a recap on a 2-C?
