Up for sale here is this complete recap kit for the Panasonic RX-5150 boombox. This includes replacements for all the electrolytic capacitors in the RX-5150. These are all high-quality brand new genuine parts. The capacitors are 105° Panasonic FC, Nichicon PW, Wima film, and one Nichicon VZ capacitor. Capacitors are at the same uf ratings and the same or higher voltage ratings. These are the same parts I use when I rebuild vintage gear. Many of the lower-value caps are upgraded to non-polar Wima film caps, which are much higher-quality than the originals. Obviously these boomboxes may need other mechanical work for a restoration, and this kit does not include any of that, just the capacitors. Replacing the capacitors is fairly easy, and I will include a basic instruction sheet that explains how capacitors are replaced, but it is not a step-by-step guide, just a general one. These are pretty complicated pieces of equipment, so if you have not worked on vintage gear before, this is probably not what you want to start on. Yo u should know what you're doing and have a decent soldering iron and a desoldering tool such as a desoldering gun or a solder-sucker. A dim-bulb tester with a 60W or 100W incandescent bulb is useful but not necessary. The instructions will include a link to download a free service manual. Please see my pictures for details. The parts in the pictures are the exact parts you will receive. US shipping and handling is $5, and international is $18, no matter what quantity you buy. All of my small parts are set up for combined shipping--just use the "add to cart" feature and then check out at once, and the shipping will be automatically discounted. I have lots of other parts and kits listed--take a look at my other items!
