Hello all, Regarding the recapping question from last week, I received advice last year from Mike Stoica about caps. I didn't want to mod, I wanted today's direct replacements. He said to use these. So I used 'em:
Nichicon VR - polar Nichicon VP - bi-polar I recapped my '82 32ch Series IIIc last Dec/Jan with these. Everything's open and the console seems very happy. b -- comp*ny http://www.comp-ny.com > Greetings. > > I've just recently taken the maintenance of a Neotek Series II 16 channel > console.
