My Sams manuel doesn't really indicate what this axial cap is rated for and thr picture is deceiving. Any thoughts on how to read this? I'm thinking it's a 4uf 50v DC axial cap I need to replace it with.
Good Morning All!
I purchased a 1954 Capehart TV with furniture console for my son to repair. Dim light bulb test shows cap failure. Testing past the B voltage tube (removed) shows the transformer is at least still working so its a recapping job. I bought all 60 caps for him to replace the whole lot, discharged the HV cobra cable several times etc so he can work without the fear of angry pixies dancing on his tooling.
My question: I screwed up the order of capacitors a bit and bought a few equal uF and voltage dipped capacitors instead of the axial. Can I use the dipped capacitors in place of the old wax axial capacitors or should I get traditional radial or equal replacement axial? AI likes to feed BS responses and would like human opinions on it. They are the same MFD or uF values and voltage is the same such as .22 mfd 630v or the dip reads 224k 630v. I want to ensure we don't lose any clarity in picture or audio using them over the axial or regular radial. It's not a fit issue either the dips are quite small compared to the big old wax axial capacitors. The dips can easily reach their termination spots around the vaccuum tubes as well.
Thank you for your input. End goal is my son wants to play his consoles on his repaired Black and White TV. Aaaand it work for another 70 years.
