Kenwood TS-830S / TS-830M HF Transceiver Capacitor Kit

Description

Kenwood TS-830S / TS-830M HF Transceiver Capacitor Kit
This is a complete electrolytic capacitor replacement kit (except the 100uf/500V cans - check my "view other items" for these caps) for the Kenwood TS-830 S/M transceiver. The TS-830S is truly a collector's item for the vintage ham radio enthusiast and represents one of the best of the '80's in HF gear.  Electrolytic capacitors have a design life span which one has to recognize if the intent is to keep your TS-830S running for a long time to come.
Part of the restoration process is the replacing of all electrolytic capacitors. Electrolytic's 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 96 small electrolytic's used in the TS-830S so for those who like probability calculations, figure out the failure rate possibility for capacitors that already have 25 years of service! In all cases the capacitors have been replaced with the exact value of the original, but in many cases I was able to take advantage of smaller modern day components increasing the voltage rating of the replacement unit.
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. Minor adjustment of the VOX controls may be required when new capacitors are installed.
** Installation Time is approximately 6 hours from start to finish for an experienced technician used to doing this work. For all others take your time and enjoy its a great project!
The kit is comprised of
104 capacitors
(except the 100uf/500V cans - check my "view other items" for these caps)
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
