This is a complete electrolytic capacitor replacement for the Icom R7000 receiver. The R7000 is a collector's item for the vintage ham radio enthusiast. I have been restoring vintage ham radio equipment for years, and electrolytic capacitors have a design life span which one has to recognize if the intent is to keep your R7000 running for a long time to come.

As a retired broadcast transmitter maintenance technician, when I take in a piece of equipment not only is it restored cosmetically to like-new condition, it is also electrically re-newed.

Part of my restoration process is the replacing of all electrolytic capacitors. Electrolytics over time change value due to leakage, electrical stress, heat exposure etc., and can be very annoying to trouble shoot especially when intermittent. There are 118 small electrolytics used in the R7000 so for those who like probability calculations, figure out the failure rate possibility for capacitors that already have 25+ years of service! 

The capacitors supplied in the kits are brand new Nichicon with a couple of values using Panasonic brand capacitors. All capacitors are rated at 85 deg. C. 

Included in the kit is an installation guide to help those along who might feel a bit nervous doing this type of board work.

Technical Notes:

** There is no retuning of the radio required as the capacitors being changed are power supply related, or audio coupling/decoupling.

** Installation Time is approximately 10-12 hours from start to finish for an experienced technican. For all others, take you time and enjoy its a great project!

The kit is comprised of the following capacitors (118 in all):

.47uf 50V - Qty 14

.47uf 50V BP - Qty 2

1uf  50V  -  Qty 5

2.2uf 50V - Qty 2

3.3uf 50V - Qty 4

4.7uf 50V  - Qty 6

10uf 16V - Qty 38

22uf 10V - Qty 5

22uf 25V - Qty 1

33uf 16V - Qty 3

47uf  16V  - Qty 14

100uf 16V - Qty 7

100uf 25V - Qty 4

220uf 10V - Qty 4

470uf 16V - Qty 7

4700uf 35V - Qty 2

The photo used in the ad is generic, and there might not actually be 118 capacitors in the photo.
