Re: Replacing five pin caps

Thanks very much for that.
Adaptors were my preference, and TBH I thought I'd probably have to make some, so I think that's the way I'll go.
Nice to see someone's already done it successfully, and gives me a clearer picture.
Many thanks again.

Just a quick question before I start rewiring and clamping.
I'm replacing the caps in a Pioneer SA-7300 amp, and have come to the two power caps.
These are 5 pin large pots, and the replacements are two pin snap ins.
The 5 pin caps use 3 of the pins purely for support.
I've no problem with the connections, just with how to mount them, as the connections are obviously totally differently spaced, and the caps will need to be mounted on the board, as there's no space anywhere else in the amp.
I was wondering if there was some kind of adaptor/baseplate available,...

Brilliant, thanks for all your help.

Re: First Timer - Mystery capacitor identification



Thanks for that.
The reason I asked and was getting confused is that I'm recapping the whole amp, and have a set of capacitors. The nearest I have to 2.2/16 is 2.2/50.
There are several 2.2/50 on the board and replacements in the kit. This Sanyo is the only one that is different ie 16, not 50.
Will the 50 be a suitable replacement, I'm aware the figure is for maximum voltage, but it does seem a lot higher....

Re: First Timer - Mystery capacitor identification

[QUOTE=patrickblue;909738]Hi, I'm a newbie, just joined, and am having problems identifying a capacitor from a Panasonic amplifier from the early to mid 70's.
The cap in question is a small, sky blue can, 10 x 5mm, says SANYO 2,2/16 (the second 2 is smaller than the first, a bit like a lower case number, were there such a thing), and M508 on the other side, plus a polarity stripe.
I imagine it's 16 volt, but am at a loss with the 2,2.
Pics attached, but as I said, it is actually a sky blue colour, not as appears...
