Hello All, I was after some advice sourcing the main power supply capacitors in GS1200 machines. I've attached some pictures of one. The replacement I would presume would be the snap in type Electrolytic capacitors however most modern ones have a lead spacing of 10mm where the originals have a lead spacing of a half inch about 12mm. Has anyone replaced these before and can recommend a good replacement.
I'm seeing 7mm wire leads and 10mm snap-in too. if you need 12mm spacing, maybe the thing to do is slightly bend one pin and RTV the new part down to the board.
It gets a little desperate replacing 40-50 year old parts sometimes: sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!
Happy Easter!
