TU-8500 with Mundorf Cap

[vkung]

Finally, I use Mcap to replace the stock PP caps
0.47uf X 4 Mcap Supreme MKP
0.1 uf X 2 EVO Silver Gold Oil
0.47uf Silver & Gold Oil is too big. It is very difficult to install in TU-8500. I use Mcap Supreme MKP instead.

Hi just to be clear- is the mundorf supreme mkp cap you recommend this model: http://www.mundorf.com/english 1.1/kondensatoren.htm

 

[vkung]

the Mundorf Supreme 0.47 will work well with TU-8500

Do i need to consider the orientation/polarity when installing these cap upgrades

 

[vkung]

NO polarity for Supreme cap. I will install the cap horizontally (if you install the cap vertically , the top of the cap must be covered with a piece electrical tape )

i recommend to install the cap horizontally

Hi - I'm struggling to install the Mundorf Supreme caps that came with the 8500 as upgrades - see attached. It appears that you've put in some sort of spacer between the PCB and the capacitors, as well as covered the leads with a vinyl tube (which also came with the caps - thanks!). Any tips / suggestions as to how to construct / jury-rig spacers - or can I just let them hang in mid-air? Many thanks in advance

Please ignore - I found good solutions in trying to imitate Victor's spacers. Whew!
