RE: question for Michael Samra

Posted by gkargreen on March 12, 2017 at 13:44:56:
Thanks, Michael, that is all go to know. Since space is a concern in these old Scotts & Fishers, etc., I often use the voltage values on the schematic and measured in circuit to determine the voltage rating of the caps I replace with. For example, if the plate is only seeing 150 volts, a 250 volt CDE film and foil, which is much smaller that the 400 volt ceramicaps in the Scotts, gets used as it saves space.
