Re: Need help identifying this cap



I ruled out tantalum's, no polarity markings on the caps or the circuit board's screen printed layer (on the board all the electrolytic caps are marked for polarity). I wondered if they could be multilayer ceramic's?

Anyone know what company uses/used that CM logo? That might help narrowing it down?...

The unit must be about 24 years old. Some of them look to have a large C with an M inside it followed with 104 all on one line. The line below that reads M S E.

Other caps just have .1M on them. All are blue and look like the caps in the photo above.

What's interesting is they use those little WIMA box caps in other parts of the circuit. I would think they would have used those for the entire circuit if these blue caps are poly's?...

Really? In all the searches I made one of the chief suspects they claim are these blue caps. Known to fail (short) in these units....

Hey guys thanks for having me aboard!

I'm restoring an Alesis Midiverb II, and most of it's original issues sorted out but still have a few left.

I ran across some info that the decoupling caps in these units were problematic. I'm trying to find out what type they are. They're mostly .1uf (104). Can't make out the manufacturer?

Here's a photo I found online that looks identical to the types in this unit. I would like to replace them with a better made cap (any suggestion would be greatly appreciated) of the same type to keep the original tone of the...
