I had a Drake 2C dropped off for repair. The main filter cap was leaking around the base. Normally I use shop stock caps for the job, however the underside is very tight and the base of the main filter cap has a smaller than normal diameter. I knew finding an exact replacement would be difficult. So, I did an internet search. First hit was Hayseed Hamfest. Nice website, easy to navigate. I purchased the full recap kit. So, besides the main filter can there were a handful of axials. All capacitors were name brand with date codes. I was pleased to see that. As you all know, I am not a fan of the unbranded overseas caps. Hayseed doesnt fool around. Kits and service are top quality. I highly recommend them for your radio maintenance needs.
