Re: [MBZ] Source for Dual Section Capacitor

Mine is working OK, but since capacitors age and eventually fail, I want to be proactive and see if I can source replacements. I’m also wondering if it would work better with newer caps in it - I don’t have a point of reference, but figured I could swap them in to see if they made a

Re: [MBZ] Source for Dual Section Capacitor

OK. Wasn’t sure. All the metal can caps I’ve worked with in the past were electrolytics, but then again, it didn’t occur to me that there are no polarity markings, either…. Thanks again! Dan > On Oct 15, 2016, at 3:39 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > > On Sat, 15

Craig, Is a ceramic disc capacitor an appropriate substitution for he metal can (electrolytic?) cap that’s in there now? Dan > On Oct 15, 2016, at 12:14 PM, Craig via Mercedes > wrote: > > On Sat, 15 Oct 2016 10:38:00 -0400 Dan Penoff via Mercedes >

Re: [MBZ] Source for Dual Section Capacitor

Thanks, Craig. It’s a weird application. It’s a capacitor that’s used to run the pulse pump on my 1960s Italian Omre brand espresso machine. These machines used either rotary pumps or pulse pumps. Mine has a pulse pump and I’m almost sure the way this capacitor is wired into the pump that

[MBZ] Source for Dual Section Capacitor

I know there are a number of electronics folks here. Would one of you mind taking a look at this dual section capacitor and giving me your opinion on the value(s) and a possible source? https://www.dropbox.com/s/wwkdwt4rope8mdq/IMG_1230.jpg?dl=0 Thanks, Dan
