Hi,
Again asking about this filter cap. Diagram not so clear and origianl cap has been replaced. What are the values supposed to be on this caps 3 sections? Looks like one is 8uf, other two at 16 or 17 uf. Are they all at 450 working voltage? Would 20uf be OK to use for all? I may try to stuff the can but never done this before. Since each of the 3 sections has a different point that it's negative lead is connected to, I would need to bring out a total of 6 lead wires I guess.
Is it possible to get 3 small lytics (radial or axial lead?) into that metal can? Do you try to fit them all together in the diameter or do you "stack" a couple? Sorry... new to these methods, etc.
One more question? When replacing wiring, what are pros / cons to using solid or stranded? I can see where stranded would be needed if the wire has to move at times as with a dial lamp that moves with adjusting the settings, etc.
Thanks much!
Harlan
