In Reply to: Recapping receiver - slow progress and and couple questions. posted by DRam on January 31, 2017 at 21:02:42:
There are several types of capacitors (mica, ceramic, poly..., and
the electrolytic). this last one comes in polarized and non-polarized
form. it is the polarized e-cap that must be installed in the same
orientation. inspect each e-cap (these are almost always cylindrical
with a wrapper with printing of value, ratings, and polarity) to
match the stenciling and the schematic to ensure you replace with
the correct one.
In general, you can buy the non-polarized version to avoid the
possibility of installing the e-cap in the wrong orientation.
the value and voltage rating is the same - just make sure they fit
since they are larger than their polarized cousins.
