I just reworked an Akai AP-A50 phonograph that I " inherited". The circuit board gave 1995 as the year of manufacture. All the capacitors had a cursive "Sun" logo that I misread as Lelon because I am blind, apparently. Every one of them tested at specified capacitance. My ESR meter got fried (cause I am a little confused sometimes) , so can't say if that was still ok. Are they Sun Electric and good Japanese caps or something else? Will post pictures if needed.

Re: Sun capacitors
95 and made in japan. Probably Japanese because I don't think japan imported much from china at the time. If they test fine, they might be surprisingly fine, though time, heat and non-use can cause caps to die
most importantly...does it work without any problems?Cap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: Sun capacitors
Actually, the player had some issues and I recapped the entire thing with Nichicons. Working well now. Might have been the needle cartridge.Comment

Re: Sun capacitors
Did some checking turns out around the date 1995 these caps were made by Suncon a Japanese brand.
Suncon originally was called Omiya Electric Co in the 50's and switched in the 80's to Sun Corp then in 96 changed to Suncon.
Suncon is used in all expensive Power supplies ( audio equipment etc.) today
These Sun caps are original japanese ones,thanks for the trip down memory lane.Yes i love Nichicon MUSE Audio Capacitors...they would look awesome all over any motherboardComment

Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
power on.
Here are some examples :
(N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
switching supply area).
(N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
than 6.3 V.)
1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA... -
hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
it has inside:
2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon
not heard of these brands are they any good?
iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of... -
I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow
This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board
After all of... -
I ordered a Japanese book, it will never be published in English. A Mr. Fujumoto was a Japanese sushi chef who became a cook for Kim Jong-Il. He was not perceived as a threat to the dictator's power, so he became very close to the dictator. Apparently, the dictator is QUITE hedonistic, with a lot of debauchery. Although he can spend as much as $700,000 per year on alcoholic beverages and this alcohol is NOT actually the highest quality. Also, the dictator has 24 palaces. One of them is as large as TEN YANKEE STADIUMS PUT TOGETHER. Are they all that large?
Does anyone have experience... -
Hello,
I need help to find the value of 2 missing capacitors ( C102 and C117) on my Easun SMH-II mainboard (solar hybrid inverter). I circled it in red on the close-up picture. The 2 old capacitors are completely missing, so I have no reference. Does anyone have this board and can tell me the value or make an educated guess based on the location ?
My model is : EASUN SMH-II 7 KW
Mother Board : P/N 18947-002401250250
Maybe the EASUN SMH-II 4.2 KW have the same capacitors
Thank you...
