Re: Tcc capacitor
Either red rubber stopper one end + black the other -, or may even have a dab of red paint +, usually the metal case is the -, otherwise trace the + off of the rectifier.

Re: TCC capacitor.
With respect, a clearer picture with better lighting would be a great help and also an idea of what set you are working on although basically John has explained the normal method of marking

Re: TCC capacitor.
I would remove it from circuit for a better look, but I suspect the positive end is facing down in your photo.

Re: TCC capacitor.
Hi.
It's an Ultra 6212 tape recorder which I'm working on. Will have to take it out and have a proper look. Ben. |

Re: TCC capacitor.

Re: TCC capacitor.
There appears to be only one 8uF capacitor in the Ultra 6200 series- an HT decoupler for the preamp stages. The negative end is connected to chassis/0V, the positive end goes to the junction of two 220K and a 68K resistors.
