Hi all,
I am starting on a restoration of an HH Scott R75S receiver.
In a few places like here in the tone board I see these small value (1uf and 2.2 uf) caps.
They are black, square and polarized. Are they electrolytics ? or more likely tantalums ?
I guess they are not films since they are polarized ?
And an other question, there are quite a few green film caps, mostly 0.22 uf. Their casing is cracking around the top edge, see photo. Is it something to worry about, will it impact longevity ?
I guess as long as I'm doing the whole thing they will have to go. What do you think ?
