Hi Folks, Just wanted to refresh the speaker crossover networks and I have two caps which I believe are film caps and one side has TI 6UFJ 100VDC but the other side has the same physical size and shape but has TI 8MFJ 100VDC. See picture I have added of the 8MFJ.
Now I can recap general circuit boards etc with electrolics etc as a hobby but I am a novice at these replacement types, is the 8MF simply 8 uf? or what do you folk recommend a good brand so I can order, the 8MFJ has me a little stumped. Thankyou

It is indeed 8uF 100volts. Depending on the position ie power section of amplifier, pre amp decoupling, speaker crossover etc that will determin the replacement.

J is the tollerance = 5%.

The original values are 6 and 8, ±5%, i.e. something between 5.7 and 6.3, and 7.6 and 8.4, respectively
Using 6.2 and 8.2 values is perfectly fine.
