Re: List of Bad Cap Manufacturers

Hi

Thanks for letting me join your forum
I have a Sony PS11 Turntable, the platter would not self start , just give it a nudge and it will run ok , so I thought it might be a Cap problem , so I took out the 3 large Caps n the board, 2x Electrolyte and 1x Polyester !( as in the picture posted) the 2xElectrolyte tested ok, but the 1x Polyester did not !,( tested the same as a Electrolyte Cap ! ).
I don't seem to be able to find the same type of Cap.
Is there another type of Cap I can use instead of this one , difficult to get that value and type and pitch ?....
