It is possible to replace those caps in the RF section without removing the entire assembly. It has been done, but it is extremely difficult. Small tools, lots of hemostats, and tons of patience will get you there. Many decide it's easier to just remove the RF deck. I've got one on the bench right now that I have to recap and I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to pull the deck, try to do it without pulling it, or just leave them alone and recap everything but those. These are great receivers when they are restored and working properly. Realignment is a bear, though, and full of "gotcha's". I've got 3 of them, one restored and 2 that need recapped and repaired. I love doing it, yet dread it at the same time. But, they are worth the effort.

That looks like quite a challenge, but when you are done it'll probably be a nice radio. Good luck with it and stay well...
Good to hear your still going and poking about... Happy day to you sir
Still kicking... How it going over your way?

Great job +++ :-)
To get some of those caps out you will need a hard hat , a pick , and a canary in a cage :'-D
Ha, yes tis going to be a tight fit
That's a shame someone put those coax connectors on. It's such a beautiful panel
Damn those capacitors will be a bear to get to... lucky you've got small hands eh?
Today's word is *Janky*
Janky... Did I say that or think that?
@@TheTimeSpiders Yup definitely didn't think it 😋 10:21
