odd cap question
I have a power board and the large capacitor is bad but it looks like the factory put some kind of shrink tube on it and I am unable to make out the size of the cap. I tried to cut it off but it is firmly attached to the plastic wrapper of the cap that has the size. I tried soaking in hot water and a heat gun and there is just no way that shrink tube will separate from the cap wrapper. Is there any way to find out the size? the board part number is 6693006602

Re: odd cap question
probably heatshrink sleeve lined with hotglue.
you need a pair of oven-gloves.
cut a slit down the sleeving,
then heat it with a hair-dryer or hot-air station on high-air, low heat and unroll the sleeve. -
Re: odd cap question
Tried something like that and it is firmly bonded every bit. Can't find any info on the board either.Comment

Re: odd cap question
The heatshrink is sensitive to heat, it will contract when you apply heat.
The only way to remove it is by using a sharp blade to slowly cut it away... cut a line through that material and then it should basically fall off, unless it's also glued to the capacitor.Comment

Re: odd cap question
It's like melted together. It's off the cap now and I would gladly mail it to someone if they wanted to try.Comment

Re: odd cap question
Is this the power supply? which cap is it? I found the schematic but there are no component values on it.

Yes, it's the big one under the yellow heatsink on the left.Comment

Re: odd cap question
For 150w, usually about 150-180uf is enough, so the capacitor is probably around this value, rated for 420-450v (if they made the power supply universal, to work in Europe as well).
It doesn't look like it has active pfc, so considering you're in US you can probably go with a 250v rated capacitor and put there as much capacitance as it fits in that diameter size (just look on Digikey at diameters and heights)Comment

Re: odd cap question
here's an 18mm x42mm 150x400 that should work if it will fit length wise

Hi everyone!
I managed to get my hands on a rough condition B&K 707 for "the best price" because it was not working. It's my first tube tester and I'm really wanting to get it up and running. I downloaded that manual that has the schematics and tested every resistor and capacitor and replaced the ones that failed. I replaced the missing 83 rectifier tube with a used but tested-good one. I also have a number 80 rectifier tube that I have used in tests before I found the 83 tube.
Initially I noticed that I was not getting the red on-light to turn on, but it... -
Recently I acquired an Eico HFT 92 AM/FM radio made back in 1958. The unit has had some decent modifications done such as replacing the rectifier tube with silicon diodes and replacing the main filter capacitor with electrolytic capacitors. When I powered it up FM wouldn't tune past 105Mhz. I checked the FM tuner front end assembly and found a capacitor not soldered to the coil from the Plate B+ to and ground on the other side of the coil. Some calibration was needed on the trimmer capacitor on the tuner. My question is AM is extremely weak. When I tap on the tube I get all kinds of snapping and... -
I have a quad charger that is split into 4 separate sections and one section doesn’t charge anymore. I have located what I think is a thermistor and on the shrink tube it says 125 degrees C. I cut the shrink tube and it's a 33 ohms resistor. It measures a little less than 1/2 inch in length. I am including pictures of it. Please help me identify it. So, it should test at 0.4ohms and probably go up in resistance with the rise in temp. On the board it clearly says R for resistor. But it has to be a special one.
Resistor shows orange range silver gold and green lines.
Thanks in adv... -
The Fatman iTube (OEM Dared, which also sold its own-branded version, the Dared MP-5) is a tube-buffered gainclone first introduced c.2005, to target the iPod market with a bookshelf tube setup. It became a huge success over the next ~15 years, selling over ~100k units worldwide to a market where it was often their first introduction to vacuum-tube audio on a budget.

One of the Fatman versions landed up for auditioning a few days ago, and I must say that I was impressed with its form-factor, pricing,...03-13-2021, 08:45 PM -
