Yes, that's normal. The condenser can be removed and a new one soldered on, but if you overheat the condenser you'll damage it. The usual procedure is to replace the points plate with condender as a unit. -- Chip Old 1948 M.G. TC TC6710 XPAG7430 NEMGTR #2271 Cub Hill, Maryland 1962 Triumph TR4 CT3154LO CT3479E fold@bcpl.net
