Re: Goodmans Magnum K Refurb and Modification (part 2)

Great stuff Doc !...I'm learning lots,and I'll learn even more when I hear it for myself...I may start a collection :drool: Just reiterate,regardless of the type of capacitor,the same value will apply. For example, the one's I found on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230740580544?ssPageName=STRK:MESI...

Re: Goodmans Magnum K Refurb and Modification (part 2)

Thanks for the link Doc.

The cheapest film capacitor I can find at farnells is £25 each for a 100uf :o
