How To Replace (And Spec) Filter Capacitors on Vintage Receivers

What tools do I use? 1:02 - Disassembly/Removal 3:55 - How To Spec and Find Replacement Caps 7:16 - Reassembly/Installation 12:42 - Measuring Capacitance - Was Replacement Necessary? In this video I replace the filter capacitors on a Marantz 2250B, but this video is certainly applicable and/or relevant to many other vintage receivers! This 2250B is getting a full restoration, so check out my channel if you’d like to see other videos about restoration! If Mouser doesn’t have the capacitor you need, also check . IF YOU CAN’T FIND THE RIGHT SOLDER TERMINAL-STYLE FILTER CAPACITORS, what you can do is search by “snap in“ termination, find one with the right specs, and then buy some ring terminals to crimp/solder onto the capacitor snap in pins.
