Zenith 6-S-1-whatever
#4

Let's take a look at this chassis.

   

Kind of grungy on top. Hopefully I can clean it up somewhat.

   

Underneath...it has been worked on before but the work was sloppy. When I took this picture I had already started working on it, replacing many of the components on the left side of the chassis and removing the replacement electrolytics which were dangling in the chassis on the left and right.

Fortunately, the original electrolytic cans were still on the chassis.

Here's one of them, which mounts to the chassis with two studs, nuts and lockwashers:

   

After removal of the can, with the nuts and lockwashers removed from the studs, the actual dual section electrolytic simply slid out of the can. Easy.

   

Here's the other electrolytic can, 16 uF. I really wish people wouldn't cut off the positive solder lug at the electrode - I like to reuse those lugs as it makes soldering wires to the positive end much easier.

I had a very difficult time getting its mounting nut loosened up to remove the can. Perseverance finally paid off, however.

I won't be polishing this can as I usually do, for to do so would make the Zenith logo disappear.

Both cans will be restuffed - the single section with two Solen 8 uF film caps to equal 16 uF; the other with new electrolytics.
