Found three Koshin caps on the power supply board of my Polk Audio XRT12 XM tuner. Just curious, as I've never heard the brand... not bad, near as I can tell...
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Re: Anyone heard of Koshin caps?
I saw Koshin electrolytics in old Pace DGT-400 satellite receivers (I don't know why they stopped using the LCC-Thomson electrolytics, even though they used a few LCC-Thomson units), except for the early receivers, which originally used LCC-Thomson electrolytics (KM series - apparently general purpose) - can anyone find the LCC-Thomson electrolytic manufacturer's website?
The Koshin website is www.koshin.com.hkMy first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

Re: Anyone heard of Koshin caps?
Update: A Pace DGT-400 satellite receiver made in early 1998 had no LCC-Thomson units; most of them were Koshin units. I know that LCC-Thomson (or the Thomson Passive Components division) was purchased by AVX - still wondering what happened to LCC-Thomson.
Koshin was established in 1984.My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.
