MC2205 capacitor

meconlen · 1st October 2010, 09:37 PM

I have a McIntosh MC2205 that started blowing fuses on the spot. When I pulled the bottom cover off I found a capacitor that goes between the power input and the fuse was pretty much destroyed.

There's no indication of type or value on it. Anyone know what I should replace it with?

Thanks

Why would you post that in "Everything Else"? Solid state would suit it better.
Anyway, here's a link to the service manual: http://akdatabase.org/AKview/albums/...%20Service.pdf

Which capacitor do you mean? From your description it is a bit unclear. Can you post a picture (or maybe even several)?

Sorry, didn't seem specific to solid state; looks like it wasn't a cap at all but a thermister. Thanks for the link.

In this thread they're using a CL-40 thermistor: MC2205 Love - Part 2 - AudioAficionado.org
