Telefunken T6445GWK restoration
#8

Time to rebuild the electrolytics.

I am sure there was a reason for the previous guy to add the electrolytics, so I am still going to gut them.
Here's how he did it:

   
He simply isolated the Neg. ring from the case by a cardboard washer. Smart. And then he used the ring as a solder post.
He also put the notes right on the caps:

   
This shows he worked on it mere 3 years ago.
I am not sure why one cap says "287,4 nF" (remember, outside the US the decimal separator is comma, not period).

Here's what my measurements are:

The 1st filter cap.
   

The second
   

I'd say, this looks like reformable case, but it is easier for me to rebuild and not to think about it anymore.

I am going to use nice Panasonic 33uF 450V caps, two in series, to achieve 16uF (The sch value and the one written on the caps, which are the original ones; I like to keep the 1st cap close to the original value) and then 22uF 450V for the 2nd. All caps have 680mA or so ripple current rating.

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.
