the coupling capacitor in the left channel of the phono circuit in my Croft Epoch Elite is broken (no idea how that could happen). I guess, the value might be 100 nF.
Does anybody know what brand or type that cap might be? Or the meaning of the numbers 34/02 ?

Made in the 34th week of 2002?
What's broken about it, can you measure the uF value? Are the terminals an open circuit with your ohm meter?
If you do replace it, replace the corresponding one in the other channel as well.

In one direction I measure infinite resistance, but in the other direction it shows funny -4,6 MOhm, whereas in the capacitor in the right channel both directions show a value of Infinite.
Yes, it passes appr. half the Voltage. I wonder, because it worked for twenty years, but three months ago the volume of the left channel went down. Took me three months to find the problem.
half the Voltage of the DC. I guess the audio signal might be halfed, too. Because it is 6dB down compared to the right channel.
I wonder, what brand Glenn used. Sadly, I just learned in the internet that he passed away last November.
