Such as how to tell if they are electrolytic or not. Yea that's the main thing, so lets talk about how many different types of caps there are in say a integrated tube amp, such as a Scott 299 since that is what I am working on. The big cans which I assume are for the power supply were missing or broken off, so I followed the schematic, and some stuff I read off line and replaced them. I am under the impression since this thing is old the electrolytic caps need to be replaced how do I know which ones those are since there are some different looking ones per say.
I don't want to go into a Scott rebuild here as this forum is intended for parts, but would like to know what replaces what. Plus I think it would help other newbies such as me. Maybe we can have a cross reference on caps and resistors. I now have figured out carbon comps vs metal film I think, but am still quit unsure. There just seems to be too many options for these things.
Thanks
