Re: Capacitors for Samsung 709 mods

209.181.54.198

I used the Panasonic HFS series. They are low impedence caps. For all the caps I replaced and some additional, I used Panasonic P series .1uf / 50v polyprops. The Panasonic Electrolitics are considerably larger than what you are replacing. The large board has the caps facing down toward the transport. You will have to put the new caps in at an angle to clear the transport. Don't expect the mods to make this machine into a world beater. Also, improvements can be made with dampening to the chassis, transport, transport tray, etc. I also, took both boards out and put them through a 24 hour dry ice cryo process which smoothed things out sound wise. A final note. Most of the caps you will be replacing are rated at 16 volt. Also, One cap is a 35 volt(PE39). Get a couple of extra 25 volt ones as well.
