Heathkit EC-1

I took a bunch of new pics of the underside of the EC-1
they're the ones with the new file dates

I want to make a new movie with the better scope display too, asap.

Hi Bill
When I first got my EC-1, one of the three caps to the left
was shorted. I had to find a shop that carried the higher
voltage electrolyics to get a replacement. Luckily, I bought two.
I soldered in the new one, replaced the fuse and started
to play with thing. Then there was a pop-fizzzzzzzzz.
I'd put the new one in upside down. I don't know how
I did it. I'm usually quite careful about such things.
As I said, luckily I'd bought two.
Dwight
