Jim Pearce Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Can anyone tell me what capacitors those serial numbers contain and do they need to be replaced? I've heard that some of these capacitors do not need to be replaced and you can tell which ones if you know the serial number. I have read somewhere that there is a database indicating year manufacture and type of capacitor based on serial number. It is my understanding that certain types of capacitors never need replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Pearce Posted July 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 I've asked this in several different ways because apparently some of you have a problem understanding what I'm trying to find out based on how I've worded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxho Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I'm guessing you heard about my database second or third hand. Link to the left. The very earliest (60-61-62 maybe) Model Sixes had surplus oil-in-metal caps. (By the way, I have some ARs with those, and they needed replacement) There is no database specifying when KLH used them to my knowledge. Yours were probably built in 67 or 68, well into the paper cap era. Guaranteed they will need replacement if they're original (Callins with black body and red ends).
