    Royer Oscillator Question

    I have a problem, in that the poly caps usually associated with this type of cct, have failed ,causing the usual fault of blowing transistirs.The caps are 0.27uF(270nF),250v,standard 5% Tolerance.
    As you can see I am in the UK and for some reason this does not seem to be a preferred value, as 0.15, 0.22,0.33uF are all freely available from RS and Farnell BUT not the correct value.What would be the effect of fitting the 0.22 or the 0.33 in lieu ???.

    Assuming you mean the cap across the primary of the transformer, it will cause a change in oscillator frequency. 2 - 0.15's in parallel should get you close enough. That tolerance is very tight, so perhaps not, though. 0.27 is a standard number, so it shouldn't be that hard to locate.

      I reckoned it would change the freq,but am still not certain,what effect that would actually have on the B/Ls,as the tfmr's should still step the AC voltage from the oscillator up to drive the lamps.Have spent all afternoon trying to trace the proper value,and they seem as scarce as hens teeth.

        Can't even see any on eBay.

        As Toasty says, you could always connect 2 in parallel. Can you find a 0.047uF (47nF) in the same series & connect it in parallel with a 0.22uF?

        Is that 250v dc, or ac?

          It is DC..Phillips/Visay MKT370 range,have them...but still no luck trawling the net.

            Help needed diagnosing and repairing a PC engine LT, currently looking at oscillator
            by soop
            Hello all. I'm currently trying to repair a damaged PC engine LT (a portable games console circa 1991)I got a few years ago. The thing had 10+ lifted pads and three lifted traces from corrosion from bad caps when I got it, and the first step was to clean it and repair the traces and pads as best I could using some copper and a high temperature two part epoxy, then replace the capacitors. Of course it would be amazing if that had fixed the console, but things are never so simple. I've double checked the capacitors, and I'm (90%) confident that they have connectivity where they need to have connectivity,...

            Does Changing Out Caps In A Tuner Effect FM Reception
            by Mark R
            "TQ" Subject at hand is a Marantz 120 tuner. The tuner lit up but no output. Recapped the entire unit. Before it was working fine tuning in Stereo and Mono. Now it just about tunes Stereo and some of the mono stations are weak. Nothing else was changed. When you do hit a stereo station the stereo lamp will come on but flickers as it's trying to hold the MPX signal.

            I don't see how bringing the unit back with new caps checked by my Sencore LC103 would effect the FM section. Every Value is as it was from the factory?

            Any Thoughts?

            Philips MDP 3380/12 Blu-ray Player – No Power, Reset Signal Always High
            by ictc
            I'm troubleshooting a Philips MDP 3380/12 Blu-ray player that shows no signs of life. The display remains off, and no buttons respond.

            Inside, the power supply is working correctly, and all expected voltages on the mainboard match the service manual specifications. The CPU warms up slightly (checked with a thermal camera), the crystal oscillator is functioning, but the reset signal remains high at all times.

            The reset circuit appears to consist of two NPN transistors, one driven by 5V VCC and the other by 3.3V STBY, as shown in the attached schematic. Should the reset...
