    receiver cap substitution ?

    hello,
    need some kind advice,

    Hallmark tube receiver,
    with 3 caps in a can,

    100 uF 350v,
    80 uF 300v,
    60 uF 300v,

    replaced the dead 100 uF 350v with 100 uF 450v,

    but could not find any 80 uF nor 60 uF caps,

    how important or critical is it to replace with same farad caps?

    how will substituting two 100 uF 450v caps for the 80 + 60 uF caps,
    effect performance?

    thank you for your response

    Mouser has 82uf 350v and 68uf at 350v. About $2 each.

      82uF and 68uF are (very) common values at 400 or 450V
      that's about as close as you can get with standard values.

        Since most electrolytics have pretty loose tolerances I suspect the 82uF and 68uF should work just fine for replacements.

        Although not knowing too much about tube gear I might be completely wrong!

          ending up replacing all three caps with 100 uF 450v,

          which works fine,

          thanks for responses,
          enjoy

            DSE GE6878 possible TV receiver dying remote not working well
            by CdDvdFlash
            For this Dick Smith TV GE6878 (Thompson) I replaced the broken remote with a universal it kinda works though if its more than a few meters away sometimes the buttons register and sometimes they wont so I bought another remote from another brand and it has the same problem, I've had an old TV in the past that the sensor died completely and I replaced it to fix it could this be a similar problem? I tried looking for a service manual, spare parts for a receiver and a parts list but I couldnt find any info. can someone please help me to find the info online for a service manual or where I can buy...

            Diagnosing NAD receiver -- unexplained shut-downs
            by JordanW
            Everyone -- I am trying to troubleshoot my NAD C740 stereo receiver, which either won't power on or won't consistently stay powered on.

            I will start by saying that I am a hobbyist, and while I am decently handy with basic DC stuff, I am more hesitant when it comes to mains-powered equipment (that is, reluctant to poke around with a multimeter when it is powered on)

            The central issue is that after a long period of non-use, the receiver powers on and all functions seem to behave normally, but after a couple of minutes, it powers itself off.

            If I attempt...

            TV that only has headphone out to receiver/amp
            by JayPoorJay
            Hello All... Grateful for this site!

            I just repaired a 70inch Sharp flat screen I found on the curb in NYC (there are 1000s) thanks to the good folks on this site

            I have a question about an audio signal from a TV that only has a headphone jack as a audio output source. I have it hooked up now with a headphone style adapter that converts the headphone plug to an RCA. I plug this into my PHONO input on the receiver. To play it this way I need to turn volume waaaay down on TV and volume up higher than I think I should on the receiver. I get undertone hissy sound, blunt...

            Pioneer VSX-1123 Receiver - weird voltage problem
            by pulper111
            Hello. My receiver "seems" to be working fine. It functions as it should. the receiver is the Pioneer vsx-1123. However, while doing some work in the house, I noticed that my HDMI cable from the receiver was registering as "hot" using my fluke non-contact voltage tester.

            I've done some troubleshooting to try to narrow down the problem, and all wires (speaker/hdmi/subwoofer) coming from the receiver, whether it's powered on or stand-by, register as "hot". none of my other receivers are experiencing this issue, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with...

            "Kinetic" 433Mhz transmitter/receiver discussion
            by Dannyx
            Good day folks.

            TL;DR: has anyone tried pairing one of THESE "kinetic" battery-less switches with THESE generic remote modules ?

            Details: I recently got hit by this craze of wanting to add remote controls to the lights around my house, so I went with those generic 433Mhz remote relay modules found everywhere, which are really basic, easy to use and work well, since I used them before in other projects. What I like most about them is they accept all kinds of 433Mhz remotes that float around Aliexpress, since they're all the same under the hood, save for the...
