slow going (work getting in the way)...

Got one can re stuffed, leaky.

Got one to go and then a few singles that I will have to order, and a few ceramic tube papers to do.

anybody know where I can get a 20uf 350v non polar cap? Its the coupling to the video out jack. I have heard about the back to back polarized trick, but I am not 100% sure that is a good way to go. I have also read about using diodes to shunt the caps when the voltage is reversed (on the back to back deal) again, micky mouse, I would rather just find a proper replacement.

there are a few nasty looking disc caps including some that looks like they are split although that may be the way they were made. I ran into this recently when working on an old maggin mpx unit. there was a disc cap that was .1uf 75v, and it was kinda double thick split in the middle look about it.

never seen a disc cap that high a value. Well it was shorted so I will look at these very close. they are on PCBs so easy to remove and replace anyway.
