Heathkit GR-900 Build Thread!

Are you replacing the electrolytics that came with the kit with new ones?

I'd be a bit wary building such a rare treasure with 40-year old caps.....


Cheers,

I am going to carefully reform the 2 multisection cans on a power supply, and see if they drop down to acceptable leakage current values.

The smaller low voltage ones will be tested for capacitance and ESR, and replaced if warranted.
