Tropic 53-960 restoration
#10

I have undone all of that mod. I'm not even sure what it was. The center pin of the connector connected to one of the output tube's anode via a resistor and then some caps and inductor followed. I fgured I won't need it so why adulterate the schematic.

I have almost done the tube caps replacement, just the 4pcs of 6nF ones remain since I don't have any. Have to order. I have non-tube type but I want to restuff the current ones.

I tried restuffing the black beauties, all 47nF. I took Dremel with small cut disk and cut the ends off. Well, the backelite, or whatever that is, goes too deep and the innards won't come out. It has to be drilled out. So I cheated: I took Philco tubulas I have in stash and used them instead.

Now I have to take care of the electrolytics. Two twist-locks.

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.
