These older CB sets need a power supply rebuild. Replacement can capacitors using a 50uF @ 350 volt section with the separate 47uF cap stresses the can cap due to the high current of the voltage doubler. Antique Radio Supply sells a four section 50uF @ 350 volt can cap. Having the extra 50uF section, parallel two sections for 100uF and add a 100uF single cap not exceeding 7/8" diameter x 2" long replacing the 47-50uF original capacitor (other side of voltage doubler). The can cap will now operate cool. Your DC filtering will be twice as good with 50% less AC ripple.
