Walter, where did you hear about this blown matching cap? Mr_FX didn't say this above in his list of fixes.

 

Plus an A99 has a 2.25" x 3/4" piece solid brass thick walled tubing used as a capacitor like noted below, and I doubt that will blow up very easily. I guess the PV insulators in the ends of this brass could melt maybe. He did say he repaired the FG with polyurethane however, but that alone will not likely ill-affect the antenna performance unless it won't stand up. :confused1:
