This little gem arrived earlier in the week from Jacques Fortin and I would like to thank him on two counts. First, for the presence of mind a number of years ago to carefully disassemble a surplus remote supply unit and save the parts, rather than simply tossing the entire item. And secondly, for taking the time to search his parts to locate it and make it available to me.
Factory rated for 20uF on both sides when new, it currently checks out at 21uF and 27uF. I can now desolder the suspect capacitor in my ZE-11 Remote Supply and test it against this one to see which one is healthier. I was reluctant to pull the existing cap until I knew I had a suitable replacement, so that all potential work could be done in one sitting. A necessary consideration when dealing with an electronics work bench that is not cat proof.
