Thanks for another fascinating episode. Loved it - great to see how you track and trace faults, and eradicate them. This old gear is nice to work on, although the high voltages everywhere can make for a bad day. I'm amazed how well these old designs work, within reason.
Don't you just love when a plan comes together :) It's that feeling of anticipation when the device you're working on is nearly back to factory specs. Just a litle more and it'll be one for the W column. Great content as always my friend! And as always, it's appreciated. I learned from this one too, but that doesn't surprise me at all. :)
Hi, Great video as always keep em coming. You say I should get a 630-plk. I have a 630-a and a 630-APL and a 630-Na Do I still need a 630-plk ? Does the 630-plk do some thing different than the other models do ? Or are you saying that all Triplett 630 series does some thing that the Simpsom 360 series can not do ? I am going to try and find the video that you talked of too. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Just1
For the doubters regarding the 20 volt leakage test range on that Heathkit unit, I guess all they need to do is put a voltmeter across the capacitor under test.
Would you not change the oil in a vintage car on your first day of ownership? Why waste time dancing around caps that are 70 years old. All caps that leak are horrible. Just ask any anode.
That's the cleanest work bench I've ever seen. All your test equipment looks well cared for.
Excellent as usual. Very nice to see your troubleshooting methodology.
Thanks for these videos! I learn something new every time I see your videos! About this unit, who gets it will thank you for sure!!!

Radio Mechanic was my official job classification while serving in the Army , 1965.

Now I can see the importance of replacing caps in this vintage equipment,,,

I would have just gone with 10uF, no need for 8uF.
*NOT* a smart move to NOT replace *ALL* those CAPs. Their on there way out, dude!! Why re-work this *AGAIN* in the near future?
