    radial instead of axial

    I am just recapping a vintage apricot pc and most of the caps are axial. I have tried to find the exact same caps but some times i have had to compromise like replacing a 47uf 10v cap with a 47uf 16v item instead. Sometimes its been impossible to find a certain value in axial and could only get radial types. Is it ok to use the radials instead and if so is there any particular way they should be oriented or mounted.

    i bend the negative lead backwards and slip a bit of transparent heatshrink over the whole cap.

      Elite Capacitors? (450v 47uf power board Toshiba Vestel TV)
      by slybunda
      anyone heard of these caps before? at first glance i mistook them to be Elna caps but closer look and it was elite. not sure if they are known failure prone brand.
      also they are 47uf and 450v. why are they so large in height? i can get replacement 450v 47uf caps that are a quarter the height. what am i missing here?

      if i were to replace them what should i be looking for?

      they are on the power board of a toshiba (vestel) tv power board.

      by Alfieh
      hey Im very new to repairing electronics with capacitors as well as using a multimeter so I need so help/guidance fixing this issue

      recently I was handed a family members old NAD C320BEE that they had in their loft for storage for a few years but when powered on it went into power safety mode due to a problem on the protection circuit somewhere before it went into storage I was told it worked fine I found lots of people online talking about how the capasitors are known to be pretty bad in this model and can cause this issue the only problem being I don't have much experience sorting...

      Decon SH PET Capacitors for “Klipsch The Fives”
      by brad2157
      I’m working on re-capping the power board caps on a Klipsch The Fives audio speaker system. I can’t locate a replacement for these original caps that are labeled “Decon SH PET”. I have three of these on the board with the electrolytics. They are supposed to be a film type capacitor, but they look like a radial mount electrolytic. Everything I find they look completely different, usually a square type body. The two values I need are 16V 470uF and 35V 47uF. I’ve got all the other caps in my cart already from Mouser, so if there’s a replacement there, I would prefer to order from...
