HP 46 repair

[Geoff Quickfall]

As I stated I have not had time to document the calculator internals.

Is the cap electrolytic? If so i would recap that circuit. Did you remove it for a capacitance test? Also they can reform but why try, just replace it. Before you try how about bridging it with a cap via clips to see if that actually is the problem.

I am in the process of restoring an already working Hammarlund 129x and will of course be recapping the entire radio wax and paper caps. No silver mica disease yet but that should not be a problem in any case.
