It says "Blu Seal-Dry Electrolytic Cap-80 Mfd red, 50 Mfd blue, Neg. Com. Black" Can you still buy these? What should I replace it with?
The scanned Riders schematics and extremely hard to read. The originals in the Riders manuals, seem to be clearer and easier to read.
You don't need an electrolytic capacitor, with that high of a value. If you're using the original speaker, 22 mfd @ 160 wvdc is sufficient. The originals were only 20-20 mfd @ 150 volts.
