[TenTec] Bad Capacitors

[Clayton Brantley]

I remember the old Philco split chassis TVs from the 50's.  They had those oldblack case caps with the color stripes. I started checking them for leaks, butgave up on that as a lost cause.  After the first two or three, we just simplyshotgunned them and replaced all the caps.  

Also remember the Zenith radios too.

Had that problem many times with stuff left on the shelf for long 
periods of time.
Zenith transoceanic was the worst. Then Klein side scan sonar.
Replace every electrolytic capacitor and be done with it.
