Hi all
Have a set of speakers, Castle Conway Mk2.
Opened em up, as i have plans to recap them.
I just a bit of help identifying the components and values of the caps
Does MFD mean uf (micro farad)? I think it does, just looking to confirm, never seen it listed this way on anything before.
If so, why would the 8uf caps be larger than the 25uf caps? all caps are listed 50v so generally i would have thought that it is usually a cap with a higher voltage rating or UF rating that generally determines overall size
How do i identify what values the 2 resistors are, without taking them out and measuring them? Do they need to be replaced if they are in good nick?
And then finally, what caps would you recommend to do this job? Budget of less than 100 bucks.
As always thanks in advance for your help and advice
