. . .and in order to acquire a Q of c. 2, you make the following
modifications to your SB200:


1.
2.
3.


Please fill in the blanks Rich. Simply stating a Q of 2 is
better/mandatory/necessary/neatokeen doesn't help a great deal.

Electrolytic caps are more compact than they were 30-yrars ago, so don't
expect to find an exact replacement.  Odds are that you are going to wind
up with more C  in a shorter case.  The main thing is to get 35 mm dia.
units.  .

The input tuned circuit Q is too low for solid state radios.  You need a
Q of c. 2.
