FYI+: Amp8 never replaces those. Kale always does.
Take the easier path or open up a small can of carcinogenic dioxins.

I'm guessing you're snapping on the rubber gloves as I write.

FYI++: E means .... (drum roll) earth.

They're measuring out around 1098uf on my dmm

Supposed to be 2200uf

Supposed to be 2200uf

But that's from positive and negative I didn't try to measure anything from the middle terminal

Here is another thread about them.

Here is a YouTube vid on how to test them.
Scrub ahead in the video to the 20 minute mark and start it there.

Enjoy the adventure that is...dual capacitors.

So are the middle and right terminals both negative when connected like that?

 

[Ronito6]

The earth / ground / common is both.

The earth / ground / common is where positive and negative meet.

As it shows in the picture in the previous posting.

I see what's what now.Things sink in slowly when I'm working nights and trying to see everything from this stupid phone

 

[Ronito6]

Dang dude.

Hope this is actually relaxing for you.

I think I understand your situation better.

I hope this is a relaxing thing for you. A stress reliever.

Ya I'm working 12 hour night shifts this week 6:30pm to 6:30am and I haven't been sleeping very good during the day when my dog barks at every car that drives by

Ouch Willy - that is punishing.

Just take it easy - no rush.

One more night then 4 days off but still waiting for some more parts from mouser

 

[Willy6]

Ok I just got home from work and re measured these dual caps the right way and this is what I got 2046uf and 2130uf on the other one.Should I leave them like this or rebuild them like Kale did??

 

[Hyperion]

It's up to you - those look alright from what we can see, and would almost certainly be OK for a few more years.

If you can afford the parts, and the time, and are confident that you understand exactly how Kale re-stuffed his, then it might be a good idea to do them.

Yes I understand how Kale did it now that I took a good look at his illustration but I'm thinking I'll try to get it up and running with these ones and then later down the road re do them and the twelve 10000uf 80v caps at the same time..

I mean eight big caps..I can't seem to count very well with sleep deprivation either

 

[Hyperion]

Yep - sounds like a plan.

 

[Ronito6]

1+ That plan too. Those are looking real good.

Fabricating new duals is a delicate procedure. You have to minimise damage to the housing while yanking out the highly toxic innards.

Amp8, who has restored more X1s and X11s than anyone, always leave those in place. So consider leaving the duals in place a low risk choice.

Slept like a rock today when I got up I decided to check the other two dual caps from the parts unit and discovered that the two square transformers (one from each unit)are different. This one from the parts unit is pretty rusty and this is the only writing on it that I can see

This one from the 100v unit is clearly different so I'm not sure if it will work with my idea of changing the 100v unit into an adjustable voltage unit and I'm not sure if the rusty one works yet.
