Up for sale here is this recap kit for a Rock-Ola 1438 amplifier. At this point the amp is around 70 years old, and the old capacitors are weak and failing. We will make them new again!
This kit includes replacement electrolytic and film capacitors to replace all of the old electrolytic, can, wax, paper, and molded capacitors. It also includes instructions to explain how to install everything. The instructions will also go over some basics for working on tube gear. This does not include any tubes or other capacitors or resistors. New caps are Supertech axial electrolytics and Supertech MPT film capacitors--you will get the exact parts shown in the picture. These are all high-quality brand new genuine parts, the same parts I use when I work on vintage gear.
The parts included are mostly exact uf replacements, some of which you can't really find anywhere else. I don't think anyone else is offering axial .002 uf film caps, for example. There are a few that change a little--the 20 uf caps are replaced with 22 uf. These mostly go higher in voltage compared to the originals--the film caps are 630v and the electrolytics are 50v and 500v. There are axial capacitors to replace the can capacitors--just disconnect the can and wire in the axial caps under the chassis. Nice and easy. There is also a terminal strip to mount the caps for the multi-section can cap.
I will include surprisingly well-written instructions (with a link to download a service manual), but rebuilding tube gear is somewhat complicated, and you should know what you're doing and have a decent soldering iron. This kit will not fix everything that could be wrong with your equipment, but it will certainly help. Please see my pictures for details.
If you are looking for a kit for a different jukebox amplifier, just let me know.
