I am rebuilding a DX-100B and saw a posting that it would be a good idea to replace the 68 pF mica between the driver and final.
The existing capacitor is a molded mica Sangamo. It has no color codes, but on one side is stamped "68 5%".
On the other side, it is stamped "2000 VW" (not WV). It is arranged like a 6 dot format, and when you hold it with the arrow pointing right, the digit "2" is molded into the upper middle dot.
Is this a 2000V part ? A quick check of the Mouser site shows the typically available CDE micas (CDV19) are only rated up to 1000V. Any suggestions for a replacement ?
Thanks,
Bruce
