I need to replace a 2.2 mfd 160 V cap, but I don't know which type
of capacitor,(electrolytic, tant, mica, poly... etc.)

Very likely electrolytic. Could be poly. Sure isn't tantalum or mica.


All three can actually reach that value, but *we* know for sure that
it is an EL.

The problem at this point is his attitude, and the fact that he
couldn't ID it from a glance tells us he shouldn't be doing the repair
*attempt*.

If you'd read his original post, you'd know he hasn't opened the set
up yet because it's in its owner's home, so he hasn't had a chance
to have that glance, you self-rightous pig. He wrote:

I think his attitude was entirely appropriate, considering the ration
of **** he was handed by this worthless group of oinkers for the high
crime of asking for a little help. After following this thread for the last
couple of days, this entire group can FOAD as far as I'm concerned.
Like the OP, I won't be back anytime soon. If you can't figure out
why, you'll have to buy the manual. No one here will be willing or able
to help you.

He'll likely screw it up, or not repair the root cause for that
part's failure, and end up having to get it professionally repaired,
and after telling that guy what he already did, it will likely cost
him twice as much to do it, as the tech will see the opportunity for
the "idiot with a screwdriver" penalty imposition.

Bwuahahahaha!
