Finally, a voice of REASON rising out of the "cap" and "recap"
CRAP! I have replaced a lot of condensers and capacitors,
in over 50 years of repairing, designing and building electronic
equipment, but i've never replaced a "cap" in or "recapped" a
radio. I have, however, worn many caps, and even capped a
gas line. I had several tires recapped for my old Pontiac!
There are many ways to determine if a CAPACITOR is
defective. If it is, replace it. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!
We used to call wholesale replacement of components the
"shotgun" servicing method, not looked upon as a favorable
procedure by a technically competent person.
