What type of capacitor is this

by southofi-10 » Sat Sep 14, 2013 10:12 pm

Just finished a recap of a seeburg TSA4 and one of these caps have a broken lead,and a few have cracks at the leads.
There are 2 in the picture with the values showing.
Where does a person get replacements.

They're common poly/mylar caps as far as I can see from the blurry photo.
The Internet is a marvelous thing, however it's not a good substitute for actually being there.

So I'm guessing 47-50 mf and 10-39 volts?

No--they are (point) 47 at 50 volts--Mylars The other numbers are code numbers-(date?)
Where-ever you purchase caps--I suggest www.verntisdale.com for caps, and cap kits--(if you had purchased the kit there, it would have included these caps)

Thanks Ron.
I understand now why the tsa4 is not your favorite to work on.
I "always" like to use recommended people,but find verntisdale site hard to use.
I'll try again though.I was indeed going to order from there,but I can't seem to navigate that site very well,so I go to an easy one.
Thanks RR.Your input is always appreciate,along with others
Tim

Hi Tim, and all,
As you may know Vern Tisdale passed away several months ago. His son Jason, is having some "growing pains" with the situation, but has vowed to keep it going. Easiest way is to call him--number listed at site --Ron Rich
