Hi all,
I've got a Macintosh MA 5100 stereo receiver that powers on but plays only the faintest, scratchiest sound. A voltage meter shows the current dropping after one of the capacitors, so I'm replacing that first.
The capacitor is a Spague axial 40 MFD, 200 VDC. A website on vintage radios informs me that I can increase the µF by up to 80%. Is this correct? Can I also increase the voltage, or should that stay the same?
Thanks in advance!
