Hi ho... This has been discussed pretty recently here, but I tried searching backwards on every string I could think of, all to no avail. I have reason to suspect that the culprit behind a flaky Mac 512K monitor is a simple 3.9uF, 25V, non-polarized cap. However, I can't find one to match these specs exactly. Thus... * The specific question: can I replace this particular part with a 4uF, 50V, non-polarized cap? * The general question: what are general guidelines for valid replacements? I'm sure it depends on application, but are there any rules of thumb? Email would be great; no reason to clutter up the net with repetitive stuff. Thanks! --- Sean +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Sean P.
