And this is why you replace old caps

[jpdylon]

I've been working on slowly getting my Capehart back together. i Thought I had replaced all the wax caps. NOPE!

Brought up the set nice and slow. I heard the sound come up, then i started hearing sizzling. I killed the power promptly and turned the chassis on its side.

I could smell that nasty hot smell, you know --the one just before catastrophic failure!

I looked around, and behind the Horizontal hold coil (which was shielded by a can) i found my two culprits. One was still bubbling! The other was slimy and had started to melt.

A little longer and their could have been a bang and a big nasty mess.

Always replace those old caps and double check your work
