RCTM; As this is a SX-780 specific thread, you would be best served by starting your own thread. Besides, it's considered threadjacking, Poor form.

Basically the 780 mantra is "SOLDERED WIRE ENDS are my Friends" or "IRISH PENNANTS can be found on spkr wires TOO, TRIM THEM OFF"! Meaning that Twisted and Soldered spkr wire ends don't have loose strands hanging around looking for a mate to short with. Google Irish pennant. Irish pennants in the US Military (predominately Navy and Marine) is any piece of loose or untidy gear, or a thread hanging on an article of clothing but primarily a shirt / blouse, mainly at a button hole, pocket edge, or on a button itself. It's trimmed and gotten rid of before inspections, or before the Gunny or Chief see's you and verbally gives you a lesson in clothing maintenance that you'll never forget. A lot of guys I know would also call a loose strand off any wire an Irish Pennant. As the amps are so sensitive, you must be extremely vigilant with regards to the spkr wire ends. 1 strand touching the other side, can/will leave you with a smoking unit.
UPDATE 10/19/2016: I removed all eleven 473Z Ceramic Disc capacitors from the tuner board. I tested each capacitor on my MK-168 component tester; Two were bad; Five were borderline; Four tested good. So I replace 7, and reinstalled 4 of those capacitors. Before installing the seven new NTE capacitors, I tested them, and I selected to use capacitors that had a 47.00nF reading or higher.
There are other Ceramic Disc capacitors on the Tuner board, but I decided to leave them alone.
What do you call the Chief Medical Officer that is or would be in charge
of a battlefield unit that's attached to the Marines? I'm looking back to
the MEUs from the WWII era.
Hi
Thanks for your post on PIONEER CAPACITOR PART NUMBERS. I need to replace two capacitors in a Pioneer XC-L11 system -- part numbers CEAL470M35 and CEJQ470M25. From your note I get they are 47uF 35/25v and the CEA is Al Elec, not sure what the "L" is, and I don't what "JQ" signifies in CEJQ470M25.
Is this something special. I'd be grateful for help.
Thanks
