I wonder if some one has experience with this or similar deck and could give me advice. I need to recap GX-270D main caps.
It has dual cap 3,5uf and 1.5uf 15V (dual cap), I believe this is for the knob controls and rewind motors and they are a bit weak towards end tape rewind/forward.
Than it has 330uf 160, I think this is for the main motor (?). The motor runs fine, but hums.
Than there is a big dual cap, it reads 4x4 250V. I have no idea what the 4x4 is in uf. (2x 4uf maybe?). I think this is the main power cap for the electronics.
330uf cap I have spare, but I don't know what the 4x4 value means on the other one. Also the 3.5uf and 1.5uf can be found online but they are stated as "run/start capacitor". So I don't know if these are somehow different to a regular caps, though I can't see how.
Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.
