MC2155 Filter Cap

[MACKIE1975]

The manual is calling for 18,000 uF. The below is showing 8,000 uF.
What can be the issue with installing a lower than spec?
Is this original spec than McIntosh updated in subsequent production?

That does not seem good

I think it might just be a misprinted label, the OEM part number seems to match up.

The -10 + 75% tolerance seems a little much though.

I start figuring out to fix my c-26 and I give up.
Many manuals, even mcintosh doesnt have an answer for cap numbers.
Better to give to some one with experience.

Are both caps in the amp the same?

 

[MACKIE1975]

Yes both caps are the same.

I found this amplifier on ebay. I copied one of the images and flipped it upside down so it would be easier to read. I have no connection to this amp. It's for your information.

362 is the manufacturer, 8146 is the datecode (1981, 46th week).

Note in the middle of the long part number there is "FB183" which means 18+ three zeros. Your cap says that so it's probably OK.

Also, you took your picture centered on the back of the amplifier. Can you take another picture at an angle so you are aiming at the center of the capacitor text?

Sounds like it's just an older example, with a misprint. Would McIntosh parts maybe already be aware of this?

This is an old thread, but most likely those are misprinted 18,000uf caps for an MC-2155. I believe McIntosh sells the misprinted caps as replacements for the MC-2155.
