Another S-38C on my bench, part 2: Parts
I’m only going to replace the leaky capacitors on this unit, so I’ve identified the following parts:
All of the parts marked with a yellow rectangle need to go. These are probably leaky enough that they could potentially cause issues with the device, and that black bumblebee part is a known problematic unit.
I’m going to order these pars if I don’t have them in stock, all @ 630V except the across-the-line ‘bee. Those have their own ratings, and I have plenty in stock.
2 x 0.05μF
2 x 0.02μF
1 x 0.01μF
1 x 0.002μF
I’ll probably just order my standard yellow films unless I can get a good deal on another type.
Stay tuned, there will probably be another post or two before we wrap up 2025!
