    Description

    This kit includes step-by-step disassembly instructions, a clean copy of the relevant Sams Photofact document and a complete set of fresh electrolytic capacitors. The Photofact page showing electrolytic locations has been enlarged and enhanced with large arrows so that you can quickly locate the caps needing replacement.
    Note: This kit is for both 3000 and 3000-1 recapping. The Sams documentation is from a 3000-1 radio.
    Electrolytic capacitors are the weak links in old transistor sets. Over the years they dry up, causing radios to play weakly, distort, or quit altogether. Old caps can also severely reduce battery life.
    This is part of a series of more than 500 low-cost recap kits I offer. They contain all of the electrolytic capacitors you will need along with clean, completely-legible factory service document scans, "Most-Often-Needed" reprints or Sams Photofact information.
    You can make your collectible transistor radios play again even if you have never picked up a soldering iron before.  In the process you'll get to peek inside your vintage radio, and learn a little more about it.
    Some kits contain more pages of documentation and more components than others. These kits are designed, printed and assembled in USA, but may include imported parts. Since many vintage capacitor values are no longer manufactured, close substitute values will be provided when necessary -- 33mf 12V for 30mf, 6V, 47mf for 50mf, and so on.
    Check out both these basic kits and my enhanced kits which include more detailed step-by-step instructions. Find them all in the Electrolytic Recap Kits section of my eBay store.
