Kef 105/4.
I decided to pull the crossover in my 105/4's. They are serial # 3093 A&B. There is a date stamp in the base of the speaker, 16 Sept. 1983.
The results are:-
C1 240mfd 70v Alcap.
C3 240mfd 70v Alcap.
C5 20mfd + 50mfd 150v Elcap.
C6 30mfd 150v Elcap.
C7 7mfd 50v LL Alcap.
C8 50mfd 50v Alcap.
C9 12mfd 150v Alcap.
C10 3.3mfd 50v LL Alcap.
C11 4.2mfd 50v LL Alcap.
C12 4.2mfd 50v LL Alcap.
Board is SP 1129 Serial # 05498
Spending some time looking at Willem's board they are identical, except on mine C5 is 70mfd against 73mfd on Willems. Plus, apparently KEF started using Alcaps in the 105/4's
The question is should I replace the three Elcaps with Alcaps?
