Technics SP 15 capacitors - manual discrepancy

Posted by GregK (A) on January 18, 2017 at 05:38:50

Greetings all!

I posted this question on the Vinyl Engine site but thought I'd also ask here since this is where I frequent and have gotten the most info..

I'm getting back into looking at replacing the electrolytic capacitors in my SP15. Looking at the Technics SP15 manual, several of the electrolytic capacitors have different spec values between the replacement parts list table and the board circuit diagrams. Specifically:

C10 - table says 16V100uF and diagram says 50V100uF
C21 - table says 35V33uF and diagram says 25V33uF
C108-110 - table says 35V33uF and diagram says 25V33uF
C119 - table says 50V10uF and diagram says 16V10uF
C213 - table says 25V47uF and diagram says 16V47uF
C214 - table says 50V10uF and diagram says 16V10uF
C217 and 218 - table says 25V47uF and diagram says 16V47uF
C303 and 304 - table says 50V100uF and diagram says 16V10uF
C312 - table says 50V10uF and diagram says 16V10uF
C318-320 - table says 10V220uF and diagram says 6V220uF

The schematic has the same values as the board circuit diagrams.

Does anyone know for sure if the diagram/schematic values or the parts list values are correct? One of the V.E. responses I received stated that the voltage isn't the operating voltage, just the max voltage they can handle. IF this is the case, do I go with the higher voltage option for each (if available)? Also, if it is the case, I guess I'm most worried about C303/304 since they have differing capacitance values...

Thanks, Greg
