Up for sale here is this rebuild kit for the Heathkit AR-1500 receiver. This includes replacements for all electrolytic and tantalum capacitors in the AR-1500, and includes new main filter capacitors and new mounting clamps, as the old ones are much too large. This kit is for the AR-1500, it will not work for the AR-1500A. Unfortunately I do not have access to a free service manual, but you shouldn’t need it for the rebuild. New capacitors are Supertech axial, Nichicon PW, Nichicon KL, Nichicon Muse, one Vishay safety disc cap, and two Nichicon LS 6800 uf 80v main filter capacitors. All axial capacitors are replaced with new axial capacitors except the 2 uf 70v caps, which are replaced with new radial Nichicon PW 2.2 uf 100v caps, and the bipolar 250 uf 4v caps, which are replaced with new radial Nichicon Muse 220 uf 10v bipolar caps. Most new capacitors will go higher in voltage compared to the originals. Some new capacitors will have minor capacitance changes (500 uf replaced with 470 uf, 250 uf replaced with 220 uf, 2 uf replaced with 2.2 uf). All tantalum capacitors are replaced with low-leakage Nichicon KL caps. The new main filter caps are Nichicon LS 6800 uf 80v caps, and include new mounting clamps. You may need to drill holes in the chassis to mount the new clamps. These are all high-quality brand new genuine parts, the same parts I use when I work on vintage stereo gear. I will include surprisingly well-written instructions, but this is moderately complicated, and you should know what you’re doing and have a decent soldering iron and a dim-bulb tester with a 40W, 60W, or 100W incandescent bulb. This kit may not fix your receiver, but it’s pretty likely that it will, and it will definitely help it run better. Please see my pictures for details. US shipping and handling is $8, and international is $28. If you have any questions, please ask. Looking for more parts? I have power switches, feet, pushbuttons, top case screws, bottom screws, faceplate screws, white LED fuse lamps, blue LED fuse lamps, 6.3v bi-pin bulbs, 8v bi-pin bulbs, 12v bi-pin bulbs, wired 8v 60ma bulbs, new power cords, new main capacitors for the Marantz 1060/2230, wired Pioneer speaker plug replacements, new 630v yellow film capacitors at 13 different values, a large variety of transistors for vintage stereo repair, and more. Just use “add to cart” on everything you want and then check out for combined shipping.

New 5B1 5B2 5B4 Bridge Rectifier Replacement KIT
This lets you replace the original underpowered 5B2 bridge rectifier and attached. 022 uf capacitors. You just need to assemble it, which is simple. The actual bridge rectifier used in this is rated at 25A 800v, but that’s with an attached heat-sink, so it’s not going to be good for that much power here.
