Comprehensive capacitor list for SSL4000-6000 center section
« on: October 31, 2013, 06:07:04 PM »
Hello good people,

A shot in the dark here. I'm needing to do a RUSH!!! center section recap. I could go out and or study the service manual for a list, but I'm hoping to see if anyone has a comprehensive list of all the electrolytics in the center section that would/should be replaced.

That way, I can order them overnight and be ready.

Any luck?

Just posted an updated PDF that includes the centre section HERE:

I have a G with some G+ cards, but most of them are identical on the E. The 6000 might slightly differ!

After extensive research, I recommend the following:
- get Panasonic FR Series for the polar caps
- get Panasonic FC or FM Series for the values that are not available from FR Series
- get Nichicon Muse ES Series for the Non Polar (Bipolar) caps

Mouser is the best and cheapest source for these. Be careful regarding the size! The 220u 25V from Muse ES are to high to fit in centre section - maybe 16V rating works and will fit (it's 20mm vs. 25mm for the 25V). I'm also doing some recapping of centre section in the next few days - so it could be good if we both posted some useful photos and tipps.

Beware if your replacing back to back caps with non-polar caps, some resistors will have to be removed. Not all 651 are the same in terms of caps used.
