Description

This auction is for the
Premium
KK4HXJ rE-Cap kit for
Realistic DX-150BA Radio/Communications Receivers
This version of the kit includes 5 transistors - see details below
I offer these kits to simplify the process of obtaining the necessary components to do a DIY capacitor replacement
Premium Kits include High Quality Panasonic FC Series Capacitors (2.2-100uF values are 50v 220-2200uF values are 25v)
(all values except 1uF which are Nichicon Brand PS Series)
These are simply the Highest Quality Capacitors available anywhere

The capacitors in this kit are various chinese manufacturers. I have been using and selling these for many years and subject them to many tests with excellent results. I have tested them in use and on my Sencore LC-101 and DER-DE5000 LC Meters and find them to be low leakage, low ESR and right on specification for capacity and voltage, I have used and sol
d about 30,000 of these capacitors and have several hundred kits sold and many have been in service for over 7 years (the extent of my experience with them), I have never had a failure or a report of failure of any of these capacitors and they are superior to any Consumer Grade capacitor that was available when these radios were new. I know
you will find them to be just as good.
If you are looking at this auction, you likely realize that Electrolytic capacitors have a finite life, most Consumer Grade electrolytics including modern units have engineered lives of 1000-5000 hours at which point they begin to fail, which includes changing values, increased electrical leakage, increased ESR or outright failure such as opening up or shorts, many times these failures are cummulative and result in the gradual loss of performance. This upgrade will improve the function and reliability of these fine radios and extend their useful Life. Faulty capacitors are the cause of a significant amount of problems with electronic equipment and I have repaired hundreds of units in which the only fault was one or 2 defective Electrolytic capacitors. Replacing all out of spec capacitors is recommended and often restores the equipment to like new performance. Failure to replace them can result in failure/stress to other components such as transformers, transistors and diodes, many of which are hard to replace due to lack of suitable components. Recapping is a good investment and an immensely satisfying project.  Work slow, have fun and prepare to be impressed with your work.
I only sell capacitor replacement sets, repair kits, accessories and information for Equipment That I Own and/or Service, and have done the replacements myself. This includes Vintage Realistic DX Receivers & CB Radios, Kenwood/Icom/Yaesu HF Tranceivers/Receivers, Micronta VOM's & Various VTVM's. I have been repairing and racapping this equipment for about 20 years and often had difficulty finding the necessary values of capacitors.
The service manual for this radio is readily available online free of charge, I can email you a link if you are having a hard time locating one.
This is the Deluxe version of the Kit and includes:
1) A complete set of replacement electrolytic capacitors consisting of:
(1)1uF 50v - C30
(2)4.7uF 16v - C58,C62
(2)10uF 16v - C26,C63
(3)33uF 16v - C29,C60,C67
(6)47uF 16v - C23,C48,C55,C61,C72,C76
(2)100uF 16v - C65,C66
(1)220uF 16v - C28
(3)470uF 16v - C33,C71,C73
C71,C73 & C76 are not documented on the Parts list but are shown in the schematic in the power supply section, kit was revised 4/2015 to include these 3 additional Caps
(Note: voltages are minimums, higher values may be supplied)
(20 total capacitors)
2) (1) 2SK19 Transistor. This is a replacement for Q1,Q3,Q4 & Q8
3)  (1) 2SC372 Transistor. This is a replacement for Q5 & Q6
4)  (3) 2SC373 Transistors. Replacements for Q2,Q7 & Q10
Even if you do not need to replace these transistors, these are obsolete transistors which are becoming difficult to find, having them on-hand is good insurance.
