I have an MB-V and an MB-IV.
The MB-IV experienced a fixed capacitor failure. There is a stacked capacitor
bank that was fabricated by Nye
using insulating sheet separated by metal plates. One of the insulator sheets
broke down.
I repaired it myself by unbolting the stack, cleaning up the affected capacitor
plates, and replacing the insulator with a piece of teflon sheet that one of my
friends happened to have.
So far so good on the repair, but I don't need to use the tuners much these
days.
