Nice to hear about the Ameco rig. I have one here, a TX-62 with 621 VFO,
that I plan to get on 50.4 soon. It would be nice to see a lot of the
vintage VHF stuff on the air,

Yup...I enjoy VHF boatanchors! The old Gonset IV has surprised a few folks on
50.400.....the audio is quite nice; much "richer" than the other SS rigs I've
used (DX70TH & FT857) on AM. I was hoping for some AM contacts during FD, but
heard no one during the short time I was able to operate, and no replies to my
CQs.

Back on topic....the Ameco uses several dual capacitors in the PS section....I
was going to try to hollow out the caps and restuff them, but the new caps are
too big.....anyone still make 400 mike 450 V dual caps? Didn't see any in my
(brief) search thru Moser and my old Newark catalog. 'Course, the Ameco is NOT
a Collins or Hammerlund....probably no harm in just swapping them out for two
new caps.....

Cheers!
