Hi Sharptone; before I forget, you might consider taking your original pics, reducing them in size to something 640 X 480 and knocking down the resolution ... they load v..e...r....y s.....l......o.......w.........l...........ySharptone said:After bringing it home I opened it and found out that it was a a line-operated transformerless amp. (Arrrgh) The tube lineup consists of 1 rectifier tube(35W4), 1 preamplifier tube(12AX7) and 1 power output tube(50C5).... I will definitely replace all electrolytics(e.g: # 4 and 6 on the photo) Can you please tell me what types of capacitors are # 1, 2, 3, and 5 on the photo? Do I need to replace them?
Anyway:
1. Electrolytic; polarity must be observed.
2. Mylar
3. Mylar
5. Polycarbonate
All of them should be replaced and the type of material isn't important. I suggest Mallory 150s; a well-made, moderately-priced, commonly available make of metal film capacitor. #4 is an electrolytic and I suggest Sprague for it; common value, inexpensive. #1 may be a pain to find; small value for the type but if you couldn't find .01 but found something between .02 - .05, I don't think it would make a critical difference.
Welcome! J
