RE: Fixing 70s solid state amps and receivers and common problems.

Hi Mike,

Now you talking the bulk of what I have. I would add that cold solder joints also are a common problem. I am trying to teach myself how to work on this stuff.

It turns out that my RatShack volt/ohm meter that I bought years ago to measure the throttle positioning sensor on my 86 5 liter Mustang, also has a capacitance meter. Would this be useful in checking these capacitors?

Of course it would be best to replace them with film, but usually there is not enough room, so an electrolytic is required. What electrolytic capacitors do you use to replace them?

TIA,

Dave
