Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors?

There are more small value lytics in the onboard electronics module. You will have to turn your tt chassis over to unbolt the tray that covers the PCB in question in order to find and replace them, if you want to do so that is.

Thank you. Since I posted the question, I've found 20 more on the material list residing on the Drive, Control and Connectional boards. I guess I can't fight the physics of electrolytic shelf life, gotta get them all...

Anyone have any experience to share?

Thanks!

Hi Strathorncat:

I'm just about to order the eight electrolytics for the power supply with my SP-10 Mk2A. What brand did you use and did you have any problems with size fitting the board?

I assume you have the Service Manual for your Mk2. If not, you can download a copy on VinylEngine. You might want to check again, I count 25 electrolytics on the Main Unit Section of my Mk2A and it was alleged to have a simplified circuit compared to the Mk2.

I'm also on the fence on replacing the 'lytics on the Main Unit. Talking with a few friends who know a great deal more about electronics than I do; one recommends replacing all electrolytics over 15 years old, a second recommends it would be OK to do just to give me peace of mind, while the third says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That is why I'm still firmly on the fence for making that change.

Have you built a plinth for your SP-10 or do you have a Technics or other manufactured plinth?
