Coronado 675 Cap ID
3/27/2011 6:29:23 PMBob E
I have removed a cap that connects to chassis ground and one side of the antenna choke coil. I believe this
cap is C19 on the schematic. It has a value of .01 uuf.
The part removed is "wax" Sealdtite paper capacitor and has the value in red ink on the brown outer cover that says I think 100-18K. I am asking what size modern replace cap do I use here? The double u in the .01 uuf and the 18 K is not clear to me as to what to use as a replacement. Thanks,Bob

That would be a misprint in Riders; there is no .01uuf. It would have to be .01uf.

Hi Bob

Can you measure the part? I wouldn't replace this cap unless it's known to be bad. Doubt it's a .01 mf and .01 mmf doesn't make sense.

Since this cap is across a coil in the antenna circuit .01 mf is too large. No such thing as .01 mmf in a radio. This would be like two pieces of wire being close together.

Does this help at all?

Removed from the circuit,as is, it tests .o2uf

Sure looks like a .01 or .02 mf. If that's the case you don't need the antenna coil across this cap. The coil is effectively shorted out by this cap. Could be replaced by a piece of wire.

A .01 mf cap at RF frequencies acts just about as a short. Maybe it has an 18K resistor in series with the cap?
