Re: old capacitor
worn print, but: probably 82uF 350v axial electrolytic.
or it could be 32uF - but 82 is unlikely to harm it.
i would use an 82uF 400v radial electrolytic - they are very easy to find.
they are used in psu's in everything from dvd players to set-top boxes. -
Re: old capacitor
yeh the numbers are,
top row MFD VW VP
lower---32 300 350
and TYPE ET5BComment

Re: old capacitor
then i would get a 47uF 400v radial electrolytic - preferably rated for 105' temperatures
btw, radial = both wires at the same end.
axial = one wire each end - pretty costly unusual these days.
MFD = Micro-Farads (uF)
VW = Working Voltage(maximum)
VP = Pulse Voltage(maximum)Last edited by stj; 03-27-2016, 07:00 PM.Comment

Re: old capacitor
you can get 33uF 400v too, but they are less common.Comment
