19LZX restoration
#22

I know.

1. I have to put in that single 8. It is a pretty expensive Solen. $6.70 apiece. I got'em. But.....somehow this radio didn't scream at me about an expensive 8uF Solen Icon_smile
2. I got plenty of inexpensive (compared to Solens) good high ripple (560mA) Panasonic aluminum cans. They are $0.70 apiece in qty 10, I got 20.
3. The voltage in the outlet being higher today, every extra uF matters. 7uF is better than 8.

So....honestly, I do not think Solen beats Panasonic here. I might even get away with it without resistors, and usually when using 450V caps I do, but these being 250V, I decided to put the resistors in.

A well-picked electrolytic cap is almost as good as the film. A 560mA ones are going to be very comfy working here.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
