Are these non-polarized caps? Maybe a polarized one is backwards or

Have you ever seen a 0.050uF polarised cap ?????

But the problem is we don't really know what he did.

He mentions those capacitors because he couldn't get the exact
value, but he said he recapped the receiver.

No Michael, I said that I replacede .050uF wax paper caps with .068uf WIMA
caps. Eeyore is right, it was a stupid reply.

It would have helped if he'd said why he did the recapping. Because
there was an existing problem, and he hoped it would fix it? Because
he wanted to "improve the sound"? Because he figures they are old
enough that they ought to be replaced?

From what he's said, we don't really know if the problem is due
to the recapping, or existed before.

Perhaps you should've read my next post in the thread which answered those
questions, before wasting your time with your irrelevnet post? My post with
those answers was posted long before you decided to post pretending I hadn't
already answered those questions.
