Default Sansui AU555

Dear Friends,

I am trying to fix a Sansui AU555 amp with a power supply problem. I realised the filter capacitor has shorted. The value is 2000UF, 60V. I cant get this capacitor off hand. I have a new capacitor with value 4700UF, 63V. Is it OK and safe to replace with this capacitor. Pls advice.

Thanks

Carlosraj

this is going to be absolutely fine to do and if you want you may as well go up to 10.000 mfd /63v

problem though is that in this particular amplifier and especially at this age all capacitors need to be replaced no questions asked and all means all ....

if you want to keep this amp up and running there is no other possible way to do it ....

Kind regards
Sakis
