Capacitor replacement kit
#9

I don't buy from Just Radios even though I live in Canada, the selection of parts is not as good, and whatever they do sell is the same as what Mark, WJOE, Bob's, AES, and Radio Daze sells but at higher prices. First you need to figure out which production run of a model 70 you have, just in case there were any running changes. I've never seen the point in paying a premium for a so called "kit" of replacement capacitors when you can simply go by the factory literature and figure that out yourself, plus they almost never have replacement resistors to go along with them, I think that Mike and I are in agreement there. So what happens if they screw up? Fill out the order based on the wrong model or the wrong production run? I've made a habit of adding a complete list of all carbon resistors used in an early to mid 30s set, and often later, simply because radial lead "dog bone" resistors with a body-end-dot code have a habit of drifting upward in value as much as 100% or more over what they should be, unlike a cap going bad they won't burn anything up, at least not immediately, but the radio will not perform as well.

Arran
