Apparently they could back in the olden days.

I’d just relocate the affected wires, unless you just can move the whole harness underneath.Comment

We have a green wire, and one wire from the harness in each, cap position, so I'll run the green under, and one wire from each side of the harness under, on both sides. Two of the harness wires can just be moved out of the way. Wire is extremely stiff, so caution will be used. It's going to go slow I don't want to damage a wire , and not know, I'll never find it afterwards.Comment

why not drill new holes that won't be in the way ?Comment

Sure. You could drill a hole in the PCB at a more convenient spot as long as the traces you need are there and install a small post to solder the wire to.Comment

Whatever is in your comfort zone and stick with that,Comment

Yea after further, and closer examination, I can only relocate the green wire, other's will be well short, so I'm going to purchase a Kemet cap whose leads are 10mm, just like the ones I removed. They are a little pricey, but this is my amp so really no problem putting in a few extra $$$ in it. I'm not interested in selling so if I put more in it than it's worth it's ok.Comment

Ahh! We have to see pics of these new caps installed.

Well sorry for the delay, we had our solar panel array installed, a little early. Surprised us. ILL be installing the caps, probably on thurs, after that, comes the big test. Wish me luck. Thanks guys for all your patience.Comment

How big of an array did you get? Mine are now 11 years old.Comment

I’ve got a 9.5KW system, 39 panels. Never gave me trouble and I produce about 12 mega watt hours a year. I’ve had absolute free power until I installed 2 heat pumps. Now I have to pay about $1200 for heating and cooling the house, but for that I don’t need furnace oil that goes for $1.45 a litre in the winter time. I’d need about 1000 litres of that and burnt twice the amount of wood too!
The solar investment had itself paid off quite a while ago. Once all my kids are out, my electricity bill will be less again, than it is now.

That's great news, mine is definitely a lot smaller, but well covers our needs. We are excited to have our on line soon, inspection is next. Now back to the amp. I'm running into problems, first was the wires, now it's the caps leads length, and width. I need a cap with 10mm lead length, and also that same 10mm lead spacing. I Don't want to cut the board slots to make thes caps fit. They have the 10mm length, but only 5 mm spacing. What would you do. I'm thinking about just putting the old caps back in. I'll post a pic of the two caps. See what you think.I’ve got a 9.5KW system, 39 panels. Never gave me trouble and I produce about 12 mega watt hours a year.

Hello everyone,
I'm turning to the Badcaps community to help me troubleshoot the radio Rx card from my (old) garage door opener. While I could just ditch that card and replace the whole system, I first would like to understand "why" it suddenly stopped working, because that's just how I am wired...!
Some basics: the receiver works on a 30.875 Mhz frequency. Yes, I'm aware this is not in use anymore in a looot of places. It does not use any rolling code, it's just a regular dip-switch code that you have to set up on both the receiver and transmitter. The receiver... -
Hi, I'm seeing one 9V relay having temperature 40C on its 9V (primary) side. Does that seem right? I switched 2 relays on that board and the temperature was the same (on the same position), so I'm sure it's not a faulty relay. I measured voltage on that relay and it was 9.5V DC, so that looks good. I don't see any other relay on that board having that kind of temperature and they have 9V on them too.
I thought maybe the transistor that is switching this relay keeps switching on/off, so I also checked for AC and there was almost none: 0.3V using mV range. No steady frequency was shown, but... -
Hi everyone!
I have this board that suddenly stopped supplying power to an output that drives an interchanger cleaner motor.
I checked while the board was in place with all wires attached and there's no AC voltage on the corresponding plug X5
This X5 is driven by fuse F8 (tested OK) which comes from the second orange relay
To make sure there are no charcoaled contacts inside the relay, I got a 24VDC power supply and got it ready to manually power up the coil side of these relays.
I respected the polarity, positive to cathode of protecting diode
So provided all... -
I have finished my work. The new lights come on except the one for stereo, I reversed the bulbs to no affect, anyway, the unit powers on, relay clicks. I have no DC voltage in speaker outputs, I also do not have any AC in the speaker outputs. There is some faint crackling in the speaker. This unit cranks up loud so I had the volume on very low. Everything seems to be fine but I can't really check the switch until I can get sound out of the outputs. I was going to do caps for the power supplys and the tone board but thought if it was cranking loud at one time maybe just leave it alone until it...

I was working on this CNC machine today found no keyboard functioning no control relay powering on
The screen powered on and was giving an operation error but the manual was not very clear about what the error exactly was but with a little bit of troubleshooting and finding out that the control relays not powering on and no keyboard functions we narrowed down to this one switching power supply which of course does not have any indicator LED light they are on the keyboard interface/relay controller board
Found shorted diodes on main controller relays there are 3 of them that...
