Re: Electrolytic cap selection

The problem is I dont have a schematic so Im not really sure if the caps are in the signal path or not. They may just be decoupling caps?? Heres some pics of the inside of the amp, although you probably cant tell from the picture what the caps are for. But they are all made by Philips. Theres three differant types 10 and 47uf radial and 47uf axial Philips caps. The Axial are a metalic blue and look to be possibley a special audio cap maybe? Anyone know anything about Philips capacitors? I cant seem to find any info about them, but I have read something about Vishay having something to do with Philips capacitors?

Im trying to see if I can get a schematic of the amp from Exposure so I can see what the caps do. Im also trying to find someone who will ell me a ztx552/BC540 transistor in small quantites, one has gone bad in the power supply of my amp, which was the reason I opened it up to begin with. The only places that sell them have a minimuk oreder of a few thousand:(
