[R-390] FL101 Rebuild (R390)

[Jordan Arndt]

I seem to recall reading something that suggested the valueof those caps was 
.068 or thereabouts, and yes, that "filler" gets acidic and corrosive and 
wreaks hell on exposed connections and increasingly leaks AC to ground...

YMMV...73...Jordan VE6ZT

Sorry, I meant Y2 capacitors (line to GND use, designed to fail open).
The X2s are designed to fail short....

Hi Barry,

0.1µF (100nF) makes sense.
Be sure to use X2 rated (at 275Vac or more) units for replacements.

It occurred to me to simply test them!  They're running from about 70nF to
80nF and the inductors check between 1.0mH and 1.1mH I suspect the
capacitors may have been 0.1uF.  Does that sound reasonable?
Thanks,
