Hi;

I'm in the processs of replacing electro. caps in an old Roberts
Reel to Reel deck.

There are some questionable electro. caps that I'm trying to replace.
These are the old "can" style caps and the color codes are written in
Japanese (I believe) on the side of the can. There are 3 color dots;
yellow, white and red but I don't know which value they're supposed
to be as the sections all read low.

Can anyone tell from the side of the can what the designations are?
If so, please take a look at the picture on my site posted.

I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sparkey

Sparkey,

In your photo of the cap, note that the rating is 250 WV *AC*, as in
"alternating current."

Those are the motor run capacitors. There are two seperate
capacitors. "X" or "Y" type capacitors would be suitible replacements.
