MC MX-110 Bumblebee cap replacement values

[westeagle]

Hi Folks

Doing a power supply rebuild and a slow step-by-step recap of the crucial (mostly 'lytic) caps on a newly acquired MX-110.

Just wanting to find out the value of those bumblebee caps. The calculator online tells me they are .18mF, 200v.

In all the online discussion, I haven't come across that value as a replacement cap (as it appears that value is no longer available...)

-So is .22mF 400v a good replacement for those? And if so, would a Nichicon QXP series cap do the job?

Thanks!

a google search for ''bumblebee cap values'' will get you what you want too.
they have charts with all the values of the colored bands.

Thanks -yes I was using the info from one of those charts. The problem was that I mistook a black stripe -thinking it looked grey -big difference!
