I'm in Clayton. There are quite a few of us in NC. With the exception of the "exclusive" bunch in Charlotte, most of us have no local club to belong to. Maybe we should start one of our own that welcomes other collectors regardless.

If you are in this thread lost and trying to find your hidden capacitors as I was as a brand new newbie. Check out this link for assistance:

http://philcorepairbench.com/capbuild.htm

And this link to get your values to rebuild them:

http://philcorepairbench.com/bblokcap.htm

They are really easy to rebuild if you follow the tips on the links above and just take your time.

Enjoy!
