Buried Orange Drop
This one tested my patience. The 1X2 was removed of course. Still was an ordeal. The bumblebee that came out tested bad, so it had to be done.

Good work. I have a couple of radios with the odd cap that was so buried, I had to remove multiple components to gain access.
In cases where the tiniest snipper wouldn't fit, I have used an X-acto tool with a little razor saw to cut the old leads, and a forceps to work the old cap out of its burrow. At some hobby store, I also found a soldering iron that's thinner and longer than most. Fairly low wattage, but useful in these cases. Some times an orange drop is too chubby to fit in the old space. The "little yellow" capacitors work just as well and are much smaller. Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios http://antiqueradio.org/index.html

That senario is probably the #1 thing that keeps me from restoring my dads 2 zenith trans oceanic radios...
I lack the tools and the steady hand it takes to perform that tight area kind of surgery... Steve
