Re: Could I replace 2.5v 820uf fake polymers with Sanyo WG 6.3v 1000uf?

I would agree with Toasty for larger "filter" caps. Just be careful when you are looking at smaller caps < 500uf and especially < 250uf. Sometimes these are used in conjunction with a crystal oscillator and really need to be the exact value (at least in uf, but going up in voltage is okay) for the circuits to work properly.

If the cap is close to a crystal or crystal oscillator circuit (small silver or chrome cans) I always use the exact same value to make sure there are no problems....

How about some more details (schematics / part numbers / etc.) for the KeriProductions ATX338 Load Tester?...
