Post by bruther »

If I wanted to replace the caps myself for an M50 where would I buy the Caps and does anyone know which caps to buy for the M50?
Thanks

They work for the power Supply Caps (which when leak are at risk to burn the board) They are recommended to be replaced on every M Series amps. The replace the other caps base on a visual inspection (usually the wrapper shrinks)

I see the link you sent me says Kester 44 but I see there are a lot of different types of Kester 44. DO you have a link to the type of Kester 44 to purchase?
Thanks

Just use any rosin core solder that is small enough in diameter. I can't remeber what exact size I used, but I picked it up at Radio Shack for $5. You can also get the solder wick there too for cheap.
