    Replacing capacitors - trying to get correct values

    I've seen this covered a number of places, but not specifically which is better. If I'm supposed to use a 6.5uf capacitor (which I can't find), which is the recommended solution? 1. replace with one 6.8uf 2. replace with two 3.3's in parallel to get exactly 6.6 From what I understand I if...

    Dahlquist DQ10 Recap and Refoam and Such

    I landed a pair of Dahlquist DQ10 off CL for $250. Supposedly one driver was intermittent. The owner said banging on the side would usually bring it back. Wow like 1970's television. And they have not been serviced (or cleaned) since 1972 that I could tell. But there is a special place in...

Next, I was told to replace the blue 80 uF electrolytic cap (to the subwoofer) in the crossover. Got two 80 uF 100 V matching caps and...

    Dahlquist DQ-10

    Hi there is a pair of it on sale in my area for an equivalent of usd700 (in south east asia prices of used hifi stuff are significantly higher than in the US. Example: JBL 4312 can easily fetch USD 950+.) From the photo they have no "legs" and no back grills. Wish to know if the price is right...
