: You can use larger bypass caps. If an original was .1 mf it's ok to use .5 mf. Manufacturers figured lowest value acceptable as cost was less.

::Hi all I am restoring a Philco 52. It has a block of caps (Philco part # 03915 cap values are .1,.5,.25,.5,.15 )The wires comming out of the block are usually color coded making the job easy. In this case the wires are coded in tar and I can't make out color on wires. Plus the schematic does not give values..just the placement of caps by virtue of a number(23 on schematic) My question is..could I just replace all with .5 values or will this effect preformance?? |
