What can I use to replace these? From a 1970s JVC stereo receiver.
Hello @djhando,
The biggest challenge is finding capacitors that will physically mount to the circuit board. This is especially true when working with vintage equipment as modern capacitors are physically smaller and do not always need the reinforcement such as the additional “dummy lugs” on your JVC.
This video may help:
As for DigiKey part numbers, here is a list of candidate capacitors.. Since this is a bulk filter capacitor I’ve open the window slightly to allow capacitors from 56 to 75 VDC and capacitance from 10,000 to 15,000 uF.
Happy soldering,
Aaron
