Proper replacement for C1 on 630-0102 analog board
Posted by: blusnowkitty on 2020-04-06 16:38:39
Hey all, I did a near complete recap of my 512ke's analog board, part numberĀ 630-0102. The only capacitor I did not replace was C1 - 50v, 3.3uf. While I have a brand-new replacement 50v 3.3uf cap in my parts order, it's a tiny 5mm radial instead of something much beefier like the 18mm original. I don't feel comfortable replacing such a large capacitor with such a tiny one even if the voltage specs are the same otherwise; are there any good replacement capacitors for C1 or should I just fit the tiny 5mm capacitor and not worry about it?
