Icom IC-R7000 Receiver Capacitor Kit

Description

Icom IC-R7000 Receiver Capacitor Kit
This is a complete electrolytic capacitor replacement for the
Icom R-7000 Receiver
. The R-7000 is a collector's item for the vintage ham radio enthusiast.  Electrolytic capacitors have a design life span which one has to recognize if the intent is to keep your R-7000 running for a long time to come.
Electrolytics over time change value due to leakage, electrical stress, heat exposure etc., and can be very annoying to trouble shoot especially when intermittent. There are 119 electrolytics used in the R-7000 so for those who like probability calculations, figure out the failure rate possibility for capacitors that already have 25+ years of service!
Included in the kit is an installation guide to help those along who might feel a bit nervous doing this type of board work.
Technical Notes:
** There is no re-tuning of the radio required as the capacitors being changed are power supply related, or audio coupling/decoupling.
** Installation Time is approximately 10-12 hours from start to finish for an experienced technician. For all others, take you time and enjoy. Its a great project!
The kit is comprised of 119 capacitors in all.
The capacitor kit shown in the photo is generic in nature as I have a wide variety of kits for Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu.  Capacitors used in the kit are brand new
