Today I recapped the chassis with the exception of the band switch bay and the rotor.
I read it was involved, and involved it proved to be.
The chassis was easy: I got the quad twistlock 4x40uF from the AES, and it is a perfect mach size-wise, and as for the value, only one cap needs to be 60uF so I added a 20uF underneath.
Two axials went in the cardboard shells from the old ones, with some brown plastic potting.
I had to replace the Bumblebees with yellow caps: I will not restuff the bees, it is not easy and I had tried it before.....nope.
The real challenge came when I decided to recap the nand switch bay, it has 4 Bumblebees.
I had to take off the chain that rotates the drum and for this I had to take the rest of the radio apart.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
