    Odd markings Tracon vintage capacitor

    I am restoring and recapping an old zenith radio and it is loaded with these Tracon brand capacitors. I have already replaced all the caps with actual markings on them , however I have 3 oddball caps that are marked 0/10 1/10 10/10. The only thing I could assume was 1/10=1uf 10v?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

      Well the best indicator of what voltage cap to use is to measure the circuit voltages that it was in. My best guess would be 1uf at 10v.

          ok so i ran the existing oddball caps through my meter and it appears that 10/10 does stand for 10uf 10v!
          one out of the 5 was within 10%. the rest were either open or waaaayyy out of spec

              Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
              by MORETTIGIAN
              Title:
              Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

              Description:
              During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
              I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

              Procedure performed:
              - Removed backplate
              - Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
              - Reapplied thermal compound
              - Reassembled card

              Observed behavior after reassembly:
              - GPU powers on and operates normally under...

              Bipolar capacitor for vintage Apple CRT monitor
              by tony359
              Good day all,

              I have a question about some old monochrome Apple monitors.

              Inside those monitors there is one bipolar capacitor. From the schematics I have it's part of the horizontal linearity circuit.

              A friend replaced a bipolar 4.7uF 25V capacitor with a Nichicon bipolar 4.7uF 25V. The cap popped after about one hour. The new capacitor was much smaller than the original one but that's not a surprise as the original one was from 1980. (I am not sure whether the original was was actually 4uF and was replaced with a 4.7uF?)

              The new capacitor:...

              RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
              by Prolog
              Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

              I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

              I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
              (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

              I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

              Potentially Dangerous Vintage Capacitor?
              by Lee Majors
              A technician (with his soldering iron) hit the original Oil & Paper capacitor in the power supply of my Technics 1200 mk2 Turntable. It looks like a snubbing circuit capacitor/noise suppression? rated 0.047uF 450V, Orange Panasonic most likely from the 80's.

              His response was it is just cosmetic and there is nothing to worry about. However, I'm not filled with confidence as it is in the AC power section....

              Can anyone help me out and can confirm its safe? He hasn't tested it, so I'm not sure how he would 100% know. I am nervous it could fail at some stage....

              If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
              by chth96
              I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
              Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
              It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
              So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
              I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...
