Subject: Re: [Amps] Alpha 77DX
Regarding my Alpha 77DX questions and issues:
Regarding the oil filled capacitor, I tested the value prior to operational
testing of the amplifier; the value is 25 microfarads as rated. After cleaning
the oil skim from the top of the capacitor, it has remained dry. There is a top
leak, but it is minor at the moment. I will keep an eye on this capacitor and
will be on the lookout for a suitable replacement.
## I'd replace it with a string of lytics. There is plenty of room. 25 uf
is marginal at best... and totally inadequate on a 2 x hole sx. 50-100 uf
would be more optimum..and easily doable.
later... Jim VE7RF
This list is a great resource and I appreciate the help. Thanks to everyone who
responded with suggestions, information or offers of help.
