Hi guys, new member here, trying to fix an 80s B&O TV which suffered a failure of the 0.1uf safety cap up by the power switch/fuse. This is clearly marked as x2. The replacements are half the size, but have the same rating.
Having read about RIFA failure, I also ordered replacements for the other two caps. Now that they've arrived, I'm not sure they are correct. The originals are rated 4700pf, and are marked as follows
40/085/21 GPF
PME277 MB447
CT5
250V ~ MP
LD2
VDE reg nr 5201.212222
Is this an X or Y cap? I have ordered X2, but can't remember how I decided on them over Y, and can't help but think I really needs to order Ys.
Thanks in advance
