knowing just enough to be dangerous, i attempt (and sometimes succeed) with parts upgrades and basic mods after doing my homework.
i just re-capped an amplifier for an old Velodyne ULD-10, and now it works but the output is MUCH less than previous. it was making a random "popping" noise, and doing a weird driver pumping thing when i got it off CL, so that's what prompted me to plow forward with the re-cap, hoping that was the issue
it works now without any factory smoke or fire, which is in and of itself success in my book
the original two biggest power supply cans are labeled 4700 uF 50 WVDC
not paying close attention to the "W," i replaced them with Nichicon 4700uF 63V (KW series)
was that an appropriate substitution? of course polarity was observed for all replacements
thanks in advance
