Hi- anyone know what caps to do a recap in a MM 130? are the whole darn lot suggested, or just the 'biguns' (I think these are underneath in that metal-domed cover?). Any ideas on an approx cost involed in buying a bunch would be useful 1st. |

Cost depends on what BRAND you get, and where you get them. F+T's are poular at the moment but don't know where you are so don't know who YOU can order from. If you are recapping, the "biguns" are not the only ones. Which 130-ss driver or tube? There are eletrolytics on the driver boards as well as on the bias supply board. Since it's 30 years old, I suggest doing them all. I have used Illinois caps as well as sprague(way overpriced) and panasonic for the smaller ones and xicon as well. No problems here. I have been stocking some of the cheap ones here from weber as well. THEY are cheap. Mike. |

Hi Mike -Im in the UK, but we can usually get the usual suspects here. As to brand I would go down the 'nearest appropriate decent/ not most dear' I believe a close brand will be fine. |

Mine is the SS preamp 2275 Musicman (HD115) 130. Actually now converted to a 2x10. |

Great help Mike thanks (ive just seen a separate section for capacitors with all sorts of thread goodies.. so sorry I missed that/my thread should be there I guess). Higher V not lower noted! 450v or more I think then. Terrific- cheers. BJiLm |
