Re: More info on hum problem

I don't know what that 525WV is doing in the Fisher receiver. I guess your tech had a spare cap from a Dynaco ST-70 rebuild. The voltage doubler caps have been blowing, and your receiver is now probably dangerous to turn on. Finding the first cap, the paper covered one won't be difficult, but finding the second one, the 250WV/500WV cap will be. You might think of building a circuit board which will enable you to use modern caps instead of the twist locks.
