At present it takes over half an hour to change a Phantom III condenser because it is necessary to remove the rocker arm and the bolt which secures the low tension contact strip on the condenser to the L.T. contact pillar. It is extremely difficult to replace this bolt and the insulating washers after removing the condenser. If the hole on the contact strip on the condenser were slotted, the condenser could be changed in a few minutes. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SBS, | ||
