Cap Subs
#11

Pat,

Thanks for the information. You have the right chassis and bakelite block description, but this looks like a difficult match, at least with what I have available to recap with. I may have to rely on an outside source after all for recapping this block. I doubt if I even have two .07's to place in parallel.

I'm wondering if it would cause much harm or hurt the performance of the set to run .1's on each side, or UP the odds with two .1's to make .2 on each side. My only concern is that you or someone else in this string mentioned something about this being a critical resonant circuit, but how critical is it to vary the difference in caps?

I do appreciate your help, input, and information. You haven't caused any confusion at all. At least now we're on the same track. Icon_smile


Thanks,

GB
