Recently received a pair of Dynaco A25 from the original owner. They were in fact on a bookshelf for 40 years. The surrounds are really in fantastic and flexible condition for being so old. The tweets are glossy and clear under the screen and they sound pretty good.
However upon opening up both speakers noticed one had the wire coming thorough the woofer and the other just has two dots. The magnets were a little different too.
Was expecting to find 5uf or 8uf (xl) Capacitors. However found they both have square 4.7uf capacitors. (4.7uf /10/100.
These are original as the covers were glued on and very hard to remove. Plus the leads to the Caps are very short, would be impossible to get a soldering iron down there with any degree of accuracy.
Anyone ever seen an A25 with 4.7uf caps? Going to look for some 4.7 or think I should go for 5uf as most of the other A25s? Perhaps they changed for a period of time to give a different profile. Anyway here are some pics, comments welcome.
