Scott SLRM
#29

Tonight, just for fun, and to chase away some boredom, I replaced the two "dead man" condensers which go across the power inlet to ground. I removed the double condenser can which held them and replaced it with two new Y condensers on a 3 terminal strip. Afterward I tested the old condensers and found they are reading almost EXACTLY what they are supposed to be. This makes me feel better about all the rest of the "paper" condensers in the set, all of which are hermetically sealed in oil filled cans as these were. I would like to leave them as is. Anyway, here's what the new condensers look like installed, compare the picture to The one I posted earlier of that end of the receiver.
