Ditto - restuffing so it looks original is more involved, but simple functional recapping not very.

Yeah, well, you likely haven't ever run into a Monkey who is as STUPID, & CLUELESS as Moi... (Grin)

I'm not aware of a single original US brand name that's currently manufacturing caps in the USA? Possibly there's a couple of boutique garage based operations hand winding audiophile caps, but who would want those in a TV?

But it would be pretty easy to change the color of the wrapper. Probably anyone with the money burning a hole in their pocket could call up China and ask to have a few million made to order. :)

Aren't Orange drop capacitors still made in the USA?

Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe "orange drops" are made in China now and not only that but bootleg or counterfeit orange drops as well. I have also heard manufacturing of conventional capacitors as we know them will be ending soon as replacement surface mount components take over.

I doubt that conventional caps will go away. It's true that the vast majority of components used now (probably 90%+) are surface mount, but not many 630 volt caps are being used on surface mount boards. Same goes for 450 V electrolytics. Over time, the number of manufacturers of these parts may be reduced, but I can't see them going away completely any time soon.

I packed up the Saab with parts, prints and equipment and made the trek to Rochester. Nice ride. The issue was missing B+ to the plate of the 6CL6 1st video. Corroded connection inside the ballast cage where the voltage divider is located. That set was in my collection at one time, it was nice to see it again in a very good home. Kirk Out

Thanks again
 

Kirk, Thanks again for coming out. I really appreciate it and it was great talking to you. I am glad to have it working again. You did a great job!!!
