Default Re: Philips BX281U20 valve radio

These are 50uf caps with a working voltage of 225v only. The original cap that came out of the can was 25mm diameter by 40mm tall the rest of the 90mm can had tar and an air gap.
Now:
Spec sheet for the caps I've used are Panasonic CD Type A if you type this in you should get the pdf specification sheet.
They are
high ripple current
endurance at 105°c 8000 to 10000 hours. I hope this helps shed some light on your concerns regarding the ripple current of the capacitors I've used.

Lawrence both resistors are measuring 2.62k is that of any help? Measured cold as you said.

Cheers Chris
