Stromberg Carlson AWP-8
#24

I was able to desolder the quad section twist-lock yesterday.
The sections are 40-40-40-60uF and measure at 60-60-60-80uF.
I am tempted to re-form it instead of re-stuffing. I would buy one but no one, it seems, makes this or close in 1-1/2" body; I see one 4x40uF in 1-3/8" but am not sure it will fit.

The two tubular axials, 10uF-100V and 200uF-10V will be replaced by Sprague Atom types.
All resistors are right there, exactly according to their values, I guess the resistors technology improved in 1950-s.
The bumble-bee caps are off, there are 4 of them, all 47nF, some being 60nF and some - 330nF which means leakage. I won't sweat this and will simply install Illinois capacitors sunny side up Icon_smile - without restuffing anything.

PS. When they show a twistlock dimensions: what part of it the dimensions are shown of? The bottom, wider part, or the cylinder itself? With or without cardboard jacketing if present?
PPS. OK, found in Tubeand more: the 1-3/8 is probably the cylinder, because it says

Diameter 1.375 in.
Bottom Diameter 1.46 in.

So the bottom is wider than the declared diameter. So maybe it will fit.

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.
