ab.3. PA Load Capacitor Remove and Replace
1. Remove the top and rear covers to the PA cage
2. Remove the load cap "O" ring and pulley (the pulley uses the same 5/64” Allen wrench as
the knobs)
3. Under the chassis, disconnect the leads to the old load cap (at three different places).
4. Disconnect the silver mica cap that goes from the neutralizing capacitor from the PA Tune
cap
5. Disconnect the plate blocking capacitor from the PA Tune cap
6. Disconnect the 10 Meter coil
7. Remove the 4 screws that hold the PA Tune cap bracket and remove the bracket and PA
Tune cap (and anything still attached to it)
8. Remove the 3 screws under the chassis that hold the PA Load cap. Do not lose the fiber
washers that are on the top side and keep these screws separate as they are shorter than
the 4 removed in step 7 (the washers and shorter screws ensure that they won't touch the
plates of the load cap)
9. At this point, the load cap should be free and can be removed.
To replace the load cap, simply reverse the above steps.
