Realistic DX-302 Electrolytic Capacitor Repair/rE-Cap Kit - Multiple Options

Description

This is the KK4HXJ Repair/rE-Cap kit for
Realistic DX-302 Radio/Communications Receivers
(this auction is a new format for the same kits which I have sold for over 5 years and have hundreds of satisfied customers!)
Kit Option 1: Premium Capacitor Kit
(Includes 2x 2SC1815Y and 3x 2SC1815GR Transistors for repairs and a TO220 Mounting Kit to remount the case mounted transistor in the Counter Unit)
High Quality Panasonic FC Series Capacitors (2.2-100uF values are 50v 220-2200uF values are 25v - 1
uF which are Nichicon PS Series and the 1000uF Axial Electrolytic which is SC Brand (a high quality Taiwanese Capacitor)
See below for a detail of the supplied values
Kit Option 2: Premium Capacitor Kit + Additional Transistors
1 each 2SK19 and 3SK45 Transistors (see applications Below)
Kit Option 3: Premium Capacitor Kit
+
Additional Transistors + Manual
+ Printed Copy of Service Manual
Kit Option 4: Premium Capacitor Kit + Manual
Printed Copy of Service Manual only (no 2SK19/3SK45 Transistors)
I offer these kits to simplify the process of obtaining the necessary components to do a DIY capacitor replacement and common repairs
1) A complete set of replacement electrolytic capacitors consisting of:
2) A complete set of replacement electrolytic capacitors consisting of:
(5)1uF 50v C205,333,367,373,523
(5)10uF 16v C330,335,371,507,518
(6)100uF 16v C378,379,381,386,516,517
(3)47uF 16v C359,370,374
(2)470uF 16v C383,385
(1)22uF 16v C351
(1)4.7uF 35v C375
(1)220uF 16v C376
(1)2200uF 16v C384
(1)1000uF 10v - Axial - C522
(Note: voltages are minimums higher values may be supplied)
(26 total capacitors)
The voltages shown in the list are the voltages supplied in radio - this kit includes all 25 and 50 volt values
2) 2x 2SC1815Y Transistors (replacement for Q303, Q304 and Q306)
3) 3x2SC1815(GR) Transistors (there are 18 used in the radio)
4) 1x TO220 Transistor mounting kit (used to remount the case mounted transistor in the counter unit - as the nylon screw will break during the repair)
The following information applies to Kit Option 2 and 3:
1) 1x 3SK45 Transistor - this is a replacement for Q201 (the RF Amp) which is one of the most often failed components in this unit and is also used for Q206 (1st IF Amp)
2) 1x 2SK19(GR) Transistor - this is a replacement that is used in Q203, Q204, Q307, Q308 and Q311
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.
Kit Options 3 and 4 also include a Printed copy of the Service Manual:
The service manual is a Scan made by me from an original service manual, it has good detail and is quite legible including readable schematic diagrams
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.
