Thanks Lads for all the Information. I am Really Thankful to all of you for your Help.
Sadly i have no knowledge of those, but i have a 76 Year old Engineer Friend thats in
the Business, and i will now be giving it to him to sort out the Problem Areas, thank to you.
By the Way the Radio Cost me €90.
Thanks again Regards Blacksasha

Anyone with the right skills should be able to change the relevant caps in well under an hour. The caps themselves vary a lot in cost depending on appearance - some people think that cosmetic appearance is very important, while others don't care what the bottom of the chassis looks like. 10 euro should be enough for new caps, plus the labour of course.

Well Paul to me Looks/Sound is Important, but it is equally Important to me to have
the Engin running well.
My wish is to Hand it over to my Son, when ever i kick the Bucket (62yrs, now)
and hopefully he will keep it running for another 62yrs.
And Guys thanks for all the Help/Info.
I will Let you know here on this Great Forum when i get it fully sorted.
Regards Blacksasha (Blacksasha is my Best Friend a Black Lab)
