i had a nice read about X/Y caps this morning, i want to thank you guys for all that great information!
it makes me think back to the seeburg i restored....i had bought a cap kit for it, and there was definitely nothing in there like that....it was all brown dip caps and a couple electrolytics. i think im going to get back into that one and check it out, the schematic has a cross line cap that should brobably be changed out with an X2 if i understand it correctly.
so back to the type of capacitors to use question...are there specific replacement caps that should go with the corresponding original caps, or will the brown/orange dip caps basically work for all of them, whether they were a paper tube or bakelite block? obviously you have to change out electrolytics with electrolytics, but im not clear on the benefit of using the different types of caps they did.
thanks again everyone! cheers!
