Re: Recapping vintage communications equipment

Tnx for all the good info. Well worth the time it took to post. I learned something from every post. Tnx a million!

Google has sent me here several times over that past few years for various reasons. So today I decided to register.

I used to repair consumer electronics back into the 90's . Specializing in TVRO Satellite receivers. They had a lot of heat build up and I replaced a lot of caps. I usually just did the whole board at 1 time.

Well now, I want to fix some old vintage ham radio equipment anywhere form 30-50 years old.
Since it is hobby equipment it tends to live on for multiple decades. Because of that, I would like to replace the caps as few times as possible....

Re: Replacement suggestions

Reading this post, what is the best thing to use to clean the electrolytic off the board? Rubbing alcohal?
