I have a motorola 1950's model, that I do believe i need to replace the caps in it too.

[@AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Thank you.
Make sure you pay attention to the polarity, most important.

Looks like you might of dodged a bullet on that one Rick. I've only tried replacing those caps inside the cans one time on a Zenith and it was a fail. No desire to do that again. :)

[@AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Thanks Doug. Yes I did. I had repaired a AM and FM Zenith Console. I had to repair the two AM I.F. cans, the two FM I.F. cans and the FM discriminator can. A total of five cans, I did not charge near enough.

I think you cought that one just in time, I think one of the electrolytics were breaking down.. you lucked out because changing the IF caps is a pain in the back side

[@AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Thanks.
Yes I did, and it is a real pain.

@@AllAmericanFiveRadio good work Rick👍😎i cant believe they thought it a good idea to put the caps inside the cans🤦🏻‍♂️people don't realise what is involved in that kind of repair, I know from experience what's involved and I can say I wouldn't do it unless it was part of a full restoration on a set I was going to keep and use myself, a really good friend etc👍👍
