Cap cans beginner question
#2

Hello radionoob ,
Well welcome to the site!.....
Well to start with is a Schematic diagram of that set and print you a copy
Because you'll need to get the right parts values and where they are localed before tearing it to the set

first thing is you'll want to make sure the powertrans is good before putting money into this set.


Anyways

First all you should have a couple of those caps mounted on your chassis
those Are your mainpowersupply fitercaps .
They are called electrolytics and just depends you can cut those two cans open and mount the newer repl ace caps inside since that are smaller nowdays.
just depends on your skills .
far as those two caps go one should be a 8ufd you can replace it with a modern 10 ufd and the other will be a 25 ufd you can replace it with a modern 22ufd cap make sure you get either a 160 volt or 250 volt cap to replace them with

sincerely Rich
