Just picked up an X-101-B off of craigslist and started checking it out. I had been PMing Larry prior to picking it up getting his opinions, but I figured I'd post here. It looks like it has at least been serviced on 2/8/77 as per the yellow tag and it looks like some work has been done, but I'll be doing the usual maintenance/upgrades. I do have a few questions at this point now that it's in my possession.
It's missing the fuse and fuse cap. Does the X-101-B share that with any other Fisher?
The coupling caps are going to be replaced. I read about replacing all the dog turd caps. Are these cylindrical brown mylar caps the dog turds? It looks like one (C34) got replaced at some point, but it's not the right value ...
When installing the CL80 thermistor, do I install it before or after the fuse? Does it matter? It looks much easier to install after the fuse.
The square orange cap(?) - that's bad, correct? It's pretty bulge-y. Anyone know what it is and what values? It reads "1346145 PC50 187-2" on it
Finally, the 5AR4 tube has a chip in the glass. I assume that it's no longer safe to use?
Thanks in advance, guys
