Default Sony TC-366 run cap

Changing the original one out for a single 2uf because I can`t find a 1.5uf + 0.5 uf . Whats the rules on wiring in a single 2uf and getting rid of the switch which wires do I use ? Do I just remove the switch wires and then use the 2 + wires together and the - on the other side ?

Cheers
David

Looking at the schematic, remove the old capacitor and replace the right hand one in the schematic with the 2uF, you don't have to bother with the switch:

No worries, these were a popular machine back in the day, serviced a fair few when I worked for Sony back then.

I`ve done 3 in the last month but I normally put a separate 1.5 and 0.5 caps in and then it occurred to me I didn't really need too . lol . I`ve just re-capped , cleaned , oiled , etc etc etc . Its looking peachy .

I liked these machines, I left Sony not that long after the TC-377 came out, a ferrite head job, the most popular by far though for the average punter back then where I was based was the TC-630, I serviced lots of them, forgotten most of it now....

I think Sony`s are my favourite to buy cheap , spend a LOT of effort making them nice and then selling them on for a fair price , they are a challenge to recap so they definitely keep your eye in so to speak . Once they are cleaned , re-capped and calibrated , they sound amazing . I could do nothing but these really . I just love them .
