[Amps] SB-220 Capacitor Bank

[Commander John]

Plexiglass can be gotten from anyone who does window glass.  It is trimmed by scoring and snapping like window glass.  I call in and have custom pieces ready for me and the cost is a buck or so.  Different thicknesses up to .25 inch. clear amber or black.  The tool for scribing is cheap at home centers.
  My last use was a plate.  The caps were glued , terminal up with a plastic plate over the top.  the Plate is above the capacitors.  Standard hardware bolts support it .  I think there is 14 capacitors in my bank.  It is not for this amplifier.  Yours are small.  Either hot glue or Duco cement will keep them on the plastic.

  Hi all,

When you replace the capacitor bank in an SB-220, considering the difference 
in sizes between new caps and the old ones, how are you securing the caps to 
the chassis?

I've bought the caps and the resistors, connected them as per the manual, but 
they have to be mechanically secured to the chassis somehow. I don't want to 
use the same arrangement (the plastic plates) as before, I want more 
breathing room for the caps.

What have you been doing about this, and if you haven't done it, what would 
you suggest?

I've got some pictures of what I'm talking about at http://www.kd4rbg.com if 
you're not familiar with this amp. Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff/KD4RBG
