So I started working on a friend's Amplifone tonight. I open up one of the Amp cap-kits I still have around from good old Bob (yes he IS a great guy!) and start working.
When I come to C24 I need a 33uF cap. But it's not in the kit. And no close value either.
This is the third time that I run into a wrong or missing cap in one of his kits. I know Bob would make good, but the fact is that it will take time and hassle.
Apart from wether the Chinese caps are good quality or not, the _reason_ why one orders cap-kits is the ease of having to order one item, stock them and once you start working you know you've got the right values at hand.
Well this was the last time for me. I will definitely be still ordering stuff from him but not the cap-kits anymore.
I'd love to see some guys start selling HQ kits with 105 degr. caps and well known brands like Nichicon or Panasonic.
