Bill/Grannyring- I was just looking at those resistors and it's definitely worth giving it a shot at replacing. I will include those when I do the work. I am currently looking at either Clarity CSA caps or Mundorf Evo oil caps. Each one will cost me about $150 total to re-cap at the same values. I think I've got the idea, I just have to go back and check the resistors on those speakers and make sure I get the correct ratings. I appreciate everybody's comments and ideas. It is very helpful and is making this all fun.
Help with crossover capacitors
I am re-capping some Altec Lansing 890C Bolero speakers. They have 6uf/50volt and 3uf/25 volt caps. What will change if I use 5.6uf and 3.2 caps? I can't find the exact 6uf and 3uf values. Should I go a little bit higher on those values or lower? Any suggestions? I'm looking at Dayton, Mundorf or Jantzen caps but I'm open to suggestions.
