Mohican question, capacitors.

[Geoff Quickfall]

Dave,

My first headset for my shortwave receiver and transistor radio used when mowing the lawn in 1969 (I was twelve) was fashioned out of two transistor radio speakers and a coat hanger with cotton batten for padding.

Looked goofy but they worked!

Today is disassembly and washing day, maybe a few caps will be replaced. The cabinet is going to be washed, cut polished and waxed. No chips or scratches on it. The plastic reverse painted dial will be plastic polished on the front only, of course to remove fine scratches. Knobs will be polished and the red paint reapplied to the index triangles.

Nice eye candy, especially sitting beside my restored tubed HealthKit signal generator circa 1947. Will be using deoxit on all transistor connection sockets and of course the tuner contacts, volume control and switches after the cleaning.
