Hi;

I'm in the processs of replacing electro. caps in an old Roberts
Reel to Reel deck.

There are some questionable electro. caps that I'm trying to replace.
These are the old "can" style caps and the color codes are written in
Japanese (I believe) on the side of the can. There are 3 color dots;
yellow, white and red but I don't know which value they're supposed
to be as the sections all read low.

Can anyone tell from the side of the can what the designations are?
If so, please take a look at the picture on my site posted.

I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sparkey


The 2.0uF would appear to be red - see

Maybe you can work out the 1u and common from that ?

Wow.. how did you find that site?? Good show!!!
If I read the symbols correctly, looks like the White dot is the 1uF terminal;
that leaves the Yellow as common. Hope that logic holds true.
Strangely, I didn't see any symbols that translated to yellow that looked even
remotely like the symbol for the common terminal.
