I do know the history of this particular radio ¨C it belongs to a lifelong friend, and it was originally purchased new by his grandfather and then passed on to his father and then to him.? It hasn¡¯t been powered on for many years, but it¡¯s been sitting in places like a closet shelf, or maybe an attic or a basement.? His father and grandfather have long since passed away, so no further details are available.? It has not been subjected to weather extremes to my knowledge.? I didn¡¯t expect this quantity or severity of mica capacitor failure. ? 73 ¨C Steve, KW4H ? From: <[email protected]> on behalf of don Root <drootofallevil@...> ? Out of interest for this and other radios, do you know the history of its environment .. as in temp and humidity ?? Don VA3DRL¡ ???catching up on emails ?
