Went to Dayton Hamvention this year, and my friend bought a Swan 250 radio. As to be expected, one of the paper electrolytics was bad. Luckily it was repairable and nothing critical was damaged. Sorry I didn't get more video of the radio in action but my friend tells me it is working well at his station. Humorous Note: don't try this in a hotel room like we did. The capacitor let out some smelly toxic smoke and we found to our dismay that the windows did not open in the room. Luckily we didn't get charged for smoking in a non-smoking room.
