I was looking to replace the three filter capacitors in my Silvertone amp. The amp originally came with a can capacitor with a 5-, 10- and 20-micro farad capacitors. I was wondering if anyone had photos to share that shows where you relocated the new caps in the chassis. I installed a three lug terminal strip that grounds to one of the transformer mounting bolts.
The 10-micro farad, orange wire, connects to pin 4 of one of the 6V6's and could be easily run to the new terminal strip. The 5-micro farad , red wire, runs to an original terminal block near the other 6V6 and the one of the 12AX7's. I could possibly utilize the new terminal strip for that ground. The 20-micro farad has two red wires, one runs to the output transformer and the other goes to pin 9 of the rectifier. The chassis has room near the tone and volume controls for the microphone and instruments where I could possibly put a terminal strip. By putting the new caps in that area, will I be generate any additional unwanted noise?
