Hi... Just wondering if anyone knows if these Mallory Capacitors could be used as replacements for my (1974??) silver tuck and roll 2 channel guitar head with reverb??
MALLORY
Capacitors - Electrolytic
ITEM # CGS442T300X5L
MFG # CGS442T300X5L
Series CG
CAPACITOR, 4400 MFD, 300 VDC, CAN
http://www.galco.com/scripts/cgiip.exe/wa/wcat/itemdtl.r?lis ttype=Catalog&pnum=CGS442T300X5L-MALY#
As far as I can tell my capacitors are bad. I get lots of hum and random swelling of volume in and out plus the power light is very dim?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks!
eric

Hey welcome to the place.
The caps you listed may work, but as Steve noted the voltage rating is way too high. At $46.00 each you would be much better off getting the caps from Mouser or DigiKey, etc.
Let us know what amp you have and we can suggest the correct replacements and also suggest how to mount them.
