found a 330 mfd 15 volt capacitor had a slightly rounded top.
Was this one polarized, or non-polarized? The distinction is, as they say, tres important. As I recall there is often a non-polarized cap in a tube monitor, and you _cannot_ replace it with a polarized one. NP's are not usually found in the junk box. If you put a polarized 50V one in place of a 15V non-polarized one it might survive for awhile, but could choose to fail catastrophically. I'm not saying this is the case, but you should be _sure_ before doing any laurel-resting. If both are polarized, then you are indeed done, substituting a higher-voltage cap is perfectly OK. (Polarized electrolytics, the far-most-common type, usually have a big black stripe identifying the negative lead.) -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
