Here are the original caps. Notice the discoloration on the cardboard tubes.

The “popcorn” burst is a clear indication of a cap that is done.

This one has a burst plus corrosion present. NOT good!

The dimple here is a burst ready to erupt.

Here we see the first of three matched 20mf Blue Atoms in its new home.

Next we see all three 20mf caps installed. Also notice the new metal film resistors above.

These old carbon comp resistors have drifted too far to be safe. Say goodbye, fellas!

First one…

And then the other. These new metal oxide components will last longer and handle heat better.

Here is the whole gang in place. Notice the hand-written values used for matching purposes.

This is the “forming” of the capacitors. Using the Variac, the line voltage is brought up to around 65 & raised 10 volts per hour until reaching 120.

Here is another view of “Tarkus” the Variac & the Fluke True RMS Multimeter.
