Oh, I didnt know that the cap checker was a vintage piece of equipment. Thats cool but on the other hand some vintage equipment requires the same cap repair that the set needs. I have a great old early 50s tube tester that wont test CRT's any more. I really liked that when it worked. No repair attempt has been made other than pulling the main board from its case. What did I find? A TUBE!!! Thats right the tube tester in some way depends on the very thing it is testing. I hate to admit it but I prefer solid state test equipment. I dont want to test my testers in other words. With everything else tubes RULE!

I'll post again when I get that C2 replaced in the TC127. It may be a while because I missed the electronics shop Friday and I'm changing to a M-F 8-5 job next week. I'm used to having a M-F day off and had forgot how hard it is to get anything done because of being stuck at work when everything else is open for business. Oh well maybe I'll start ordering them online. If gas gets higher I will have to......
