Capacitor Replacement Guide 
 
The advanced design of the 821A-1 250 kW 
transmitter is a direct benefit from Collins' depth of 
experience in broadcast equipment manufacture. 
With totally new and unique design features, this 
high frequency transmitter advanced techniques of 
super-power transmitter design.   
 
 
 
Introduction: 
Even thou these transmitters are 25 
years old, IBB Delano, California 
regularly uses all three transmitters.  
Recently, several of the original 
capacitors were discontinued.  IBB 
asked Comet initiated a study to 
identify replacement capacitors for 
their Collins Model 821A Transmitter.   
 
Scope: 
It was critical to IBB to minimize 
changes required to their transmitters.       
 
Application: 
IBB Delano is still evaluating these 
alternatives.  
 
Responsibilities: 
Since difference can occur over time 
in specific installations, it is always 
recommended to verify replacements 
in your application
