Hi all. I have some 40 year old Sony speakers that need their capacitors replacing - as I don't recall them ever having been.
I'm quite technically challenged but opened the speakers up and found a blue capacitor in there 2.2uf 50v. It was a blue one with wires coming out of each end. The speakers are only 2 way and don't have a cross over in them. I was looking to replace this blue capacitor but can't find an exact replacement (new ones being 2.2uf 100v) and also, having had a quick look on this forum, it seems that a special hifi type is needed anyway.
So, can any of you help - please? I have looked at the pinned threads with links but got totally confused. Does anyone know where I can find one of the above capacitors and have a link of a good, UK supplier.
Thanks
