Re: polaroid tv capacitor identification

Just wanted to post an update also and say thanks for all the info I obtained from this site, and to Plainbill a special thanks for not treating me like a "dumb ol' girl"... lol I replaced the two 10uf 450v caps on the tv on Thursday evening (11/03) and the tv has been working great ever since. I purchased the Panasonic brand from Mouser, ended up just getting the regular ones, not the high temp ones I asked about, spent a total of $6.13.... can't beat that for a free tv that I "rescued" from the trash heap... gave it...

Re: polaroid tv capacitor identification

I'm new to this forum, and to the "fix it" myself world - I have one of these Polaroid tv's and the two 450v 10uf caps are bad. In reading all the info on this thread that you tech guys have generously shared I have a question....

If heat seems to be the problem causing these caps to go bad would it be better to replace them with High temp caps of the same value? I looked the part no. up on Mouser that Abblepc posted, and noticed that they also have another that is "high temp".... would they be better...
