- I have my Dad's MLA-2500 in my shack for what I suspect is a filter capacitor replacement job. It hadn't been operated in a long time and Dad wanted me to check everything out (he's had health proble

- There are a few component selection errors in Dentrons that should always be taken care of immediately. The major error is they used carbon resistors across the electrolytics. Carbon resistors shoul

- critical voltage equalizing or voltage dropping applications, because carbon resistors age down in value with heat and time< I've never found one that aged down in value, always the ones I've checked

- Aging down is actually a very common so I'm quite surprised you never saw it! It is even in the resistance cycle curves supplied by some manufacturers. The normal cycle with a carbon comp is to decr

- Thanks, Tom. Yes, there are carbon comp resistors across the caps and I plan to replace those with metal film; I'll look for carbon comp resistors across the rectifiers and pull them. The story I rea

- Oh, good! Thanks, Robert. Now, I gotta figure out how to insure that metal chips don't wind up where they mustn't be. A vacuum cleaner right at the drill should help a lot. Happy QRO, Kim, N5OP Yeah,
