Re: Help with Power on yamaha receiver (capacitors?)

2 things: There's only a C152 on the board (the brown cylinder on the side farthest from the back), don't know how to test that without disassembling the whole board.

I understand the nanofarad readings (This one is 103, meaning 10 nanos). What is...

Hi, I'm Brendan and I am getting into electronic equipment and want a better all around knowledge of electrical equipment, namely stereo equipment, so I can repair stereos and receivers to bring them back to full working condition! I will be posting a new thread once I'm allowed for a very important question that is stumping me!
