Vintage Asylum

This was posted in 2011, but I just received a well made can capacitor

from hayseedhamfest.com in Iowa. My son purchased a 1951 Philco 51-1731 radio/phonograph for me, and, as usual, the multicap can is no longer available. I visited the usual suspects for vintage parts with no luck, and also noted that a well known multicap can producer had died.

I finally found Hayseed Hamfest, and they rapidly produced the custom can cap that I needed for a rebuild. Admittedly, I have not installed the cap yet, but it looks beautiful.

I have no relation to this company, but I thought that a few folks on this site may need the same custom service someday.

Thank you!

Between this post and the thread about cap types, I'm looking forward to getting unpacked after a move and getting moving on some long-delayed projects (once I get the tonearms fixed - at least 2 got bunged up, 1 during the move and 1 when I tried to mount it).

Thanks for posting this. Can't say when or for what, but this source of replacement electrolytic cans is sure to be useful.

That looks great. How much did it set you back?
- They are getting rare , so I didn't mind paying $32.95 plus $6 shipping. - alaskahiatt 10:58:20 12/09/15 (2)

    Wow. That's a good deal. They look better than the CE stuff. I'm going to go this route next time I do something. I usually use a dual can like JJ with a clamp and add two extra regular caps under the amp.
  - Very good price.. - dee eye why 17:30:42 12/09/15 (0)
    ..considering that it's made to order. That price is on par with "off the shelf" CE Mfg. can caps.
