These are the new, direct
replacement Surface Mount Devices (SMD) needed to replace all the leaking
electrolytic capacitors in your Spectra radio. These are the new
style, not supposed to leak. SMD Kit |

I used to offer this kit, I don't even bother any more. I do not
recommend using these thru-hole components. Thru-Hole Kit |

For those of you who want the ultimate in refurbishing kits, I am offering
these tiny, tantalum capacitor kits. These will not leak, are
extremely precise and you will never have to worry about replacing them
again. UPDATE: This kit has changed. The 4 each, 10uf@50v caps are the new replacement smd electrolytic types. The rest of the caps are Tantalum. Capacitor Refurb Kit, dash-mount type spectras as pictured above. $10 ea. + $2 shipping and handling, up to 5 kits. 6 to 10 kits, include $4 shipping and handling. Here's the catch folks... I have sold a LOT of these kits. Most people thank me; however, I have had a few that just don't have a clue and claimed the new parts made their problem worse! You can not replace these caps and expect your radio to be back to 100%. In fact, if you get your radio up to about 50% I'll be impressed. Your radio MUST BE PROPERLY ALIGNED after these parts are replaced. Every board gets new parts, so the frequency is going to be way off, if it locks at all. The audio levels and deviation will be off, the tones and levels will be off, the low and high power levels will be off, as well as the current draw. PLEASE make sure you properly align your radio with a service monitor that has a valid, up-to-date calibration. |

Left is a picture of a Spectra I re-capped completely with Tantalum
capacitors
in place of the electrolytic can types.

I will be happy to work on your /\/\otorola Spectra for you.
I can do the repairs, re-cap the radio with your choice of the above components, effect any repairs that may be needed, polish the display, and do the correct alignment to bring your radio within the published specifications. I charge $50 per radio, for re-capping and alignment. $10 more for cleaning and polishing the display. All other repairs on an as-needed basis. You provide to and from shipping. A standard rate USPS shipping box works best, include a paid, return label so you can get your radio back without any delays. *** I have 2 unclaimed Spectras here in my shop. One is a remote head, black, high power, the other is a standard dash-mount. Include a previous e-mail, serial number, programming specs, something, to prove it's yours, then provide a means of shipping. These have been here a while. After 366 days, Georgia Law considers them abandoned. Personally, I don't want or need them. Please contact me for your radios! *** I also provide programming, should you wish to have that done. Please email me with any questions by clicking here.
