Hello
I repaired a drive Audiomeca Kreatura: new spin motor and new laser pick-up. Laser adjustment was a pain because I am not technician and don't have scope but with a great deal of courage and perseverance, the drive is working now 🙂
But before assembling the drive, I ask myself if I should change some caps.Ok, the drive works, external view of caps is good but the drive was from 90's. I need your advice.
On the right, red caps are Sanyo. Blue caps are Rubycon (3 grey also).
SANYO
2x 2200uF 16V
5x 100uF 16V
2x 10uf 16V
RUBYCON
2x 330uF 50V
5x 220uF 6,3V
6x 100uF 6,3V
1x 47uF 35V
3x 47uF 16V
3x 1uF 50V
2x 1uF 50V
1x 10uF 50V
2x 10uF 16V
2x 0,47uF 50V
I guess the 2200uF is for power supply but as I said previously I am not an export.
Is there anything I need to do with caps to be safe for long time?
Kind regards

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Apparently i can't see any faulty caps! But I don't have esr meter to test them. I'm asking the question to known your recommandation. Of course it's more simple for me to do nothing [emoji16]

These cap brands are good. Leave as it is if the player works, Sanyo caps are not so easy to source.
90s is fine, oldest Philips players for instance continue to play fine 30 years after !

All seems very good, you should keep it as it is and keep your money for a further tweak on an other device, bare pcb to populate, etc...🙂
