On both my Sanyo 20ez Audio Boards are missing C378 and have factory solder on the bottom. I'm doing a cap kit and was wondering what the concensus was on this cap. Put it in or just leave it blank. I'm not sure what it did in the circuit, but if it came from the factory blank, it makes me think its not needed. Although, I've read some threads where it WAS installed on all the ones they saw. I recall MaximRecoil has the same monitor created date "April 1984" as I do, I wonder if his C378 was blank?

I've capped a ton of Sanyo monitor over the years.....I've never had one without a cap in location C378. Strange. I just pulled the schematics. It looks like C378 is being used as a filter cap for the 12 volt audio supply. I say install it.
