Some get uptight about homemade repairs, but have seen stuff that looks sloppy but lasted forever. Also there weren't as many materials easily available either. Plastic sheeting, wire ties , heat shrink tubing etc. A good cap repair on the cheap, is the main filters is if you have a scrapped stereo from the 90s or 2000s, you can use the main filters for this. They will be just fine. Anything to 15,000 uf is just fine. I fixed one of these for someone, and used a pair of 12,000 uf at 63v for each and all was fine

Hi Mark, you are quite right. We had to fix things with what we had on hand and from the hardware store, radio/TV shops, scrapped units and Radio Shack. I remember the first Sams I had my Dad and I got at a R/TV shop in 1980. Good to hear about those 12,000 uF caps working out. Thanks

Nice PS, should handle power requirements for a lot of stuff. :)

[@PracticallyFixed]

Yes, and thanks for taking that nut off for us. I needed a break just then. Just the ticket for the 6v tube car radio. Thanks

@@PracticallyFixed LOL, no problem, glad to be of service. Yeah I've seen some of those oldies are true amp hogs for sure. I've been toying with the Audiovox Sound Exploder amp today. Found an obviously shorted out wire (bare and insulation all melted). It was the black common input wire. Fun, fun, fun. :)

[@PracticallyFixed]

Oh no. Do you think they didn't run a fuse? Hope it's ok.

[@DERB_Seymour_Indiana]

@@PracticallyFixed Hope to get further into it soon. I do know there are no other burned spots on the board or components and I believe the fuse was still in it. :)
