| Technics SP 10 Mk II a I just recapped a mkII deck and power supply. I used Nichicon electrolytics for the power supply, (no special considerations)and a Panasonic series for the deck that was recommended more than once in forums for it's low ESR (equivalent series resi... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Agreed. I'm glad I did it. | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Update: Finished recap of the tt deck. The job went well. You do need to be gentle with circuit board traces during cap removal. After the cap job, the deck comes up to speed at 78rpm and stabilizes quickly. Prior to cap job, it searched and took ... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Sure. I can see some value in that. But, that's a ways down the road for me. I just fell into my sp-10 and got an extra power supply off ebay and recapped both, so I hope to not have to worry about DC voltages for a while. I did notice that it was... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Well said, and I look forward to learning more. I'm just getting started with my table. Thanks! | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? SH-10E recap. Sorry, didn't really answer your direct question. Since it was a filter cap in a power supply, I have no doubt that I would have seen less noise on the output rail after cap replacement, to say the least. I didn't check though, cuz I... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? My hope is that it will meet factory specs, and continue to do so for the next 20 years. My table takes a bit to stabilize at 78rpm and I'm hoping that gets better. I'm getting up to speed on the service manual and the troubleshooting tree. My gue... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Electolytic have a shelf life. It's accepted in the electronics industry. Depends on the application as to how worried to be. Lewm said it well for me:"There is a certain piece of mind in knowing the lytics are not going to leak and take out an ir... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Lewm, thanks for the insight. I intend on replacing all and I saw reference to the Panasonic caps elsewhere, so that's the plan. Need to part with the machine long enough to open it up and verify package types/values and get a lay of the land. | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? The cap replacement on the SH-10E was pretty straight forward. I used Nichicon caps. No size issues, except finding a physically large enough replacement for the can cap with the chassis mount. Yes, I have downloaded the service manual and all of ... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? 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 ... |
