Re: Caution!

Thank you Russ for this very important clarification about the bias caps as I was very confused about the positive/negative thing in all these can caps.

About the electrolytics to replace the can caps, I didn't find anything rated at 500V or more, so I didn't buy the caps for C1 (C53). Any hint is welcome here, maybe to connect some in series?

For the other two cans I found the following, let me know if my choices are ok. They are not special brands, but mainly Elna plus Jamicon, Pec and Samwha.

C3:
100uf/50V + 47uf/50V to replace 150uf/50V
220uf/50V + 33uf/63V to replace 250uf/50V
47uf/63V to replace 50uf/50V

C2(C24):
47uf/450V to replace 30uf/400V
22uf/450V to replace 20uf/400V
4.7uf/250V to replace 5uf/250V

Thanks
Raul
P.S. A thing about the coupling caps to replace: in my amp, the four caps coupling the 7199s to the 6BQ5s are four .068, not two .06 and two .04.
