Cliff Hanger NTSC cap id?

[prOk]

HI.. I am recapping an ntsc board off a Sampo monitor in a Cliff Hanger and like an idiot I pulled and dropped the old cap in the bucket and forgot to check the value first. Anyone with a cliffy willing to take a look at C105 on the NTSC for me? Far as I can find, there's no scan of the schematics for the thing anywhere online.

You might have better luck posting at Dragons Lair Project

Actually, I did. I asked a number of people I know if they had the schematic for the thing and nobody does. Weird. I know a handful of people on here have one, hoping someone will chime in.

Maybe another way to do this.

Empty the bucket.
Check every cap you already wrote down.
C105 will be the one you haven't written down.

what if I didn't write them down There's no 'cap kit' for it, so I just ordered a dozen of each cap from mouser. Some caps have a few of the same value used some don't. I could match everything up manually and still not know what that one missing one is

Then work it backwards.

You know how many you bought.

You can inventory the board as to what you installed and match those to the ones in the bucket and inventory.

When you find the odd one that isn't installed you found your cap maybe.

That still leaves him nowhere. OK... he inventories... he now knows he has 6 of these caps and 8 of those... 10 of these... etc...

UNLESS the cap in question is a unique value (ie: there are 12 of that value cap still sitting in the bin)... he's still screwed I do believe as ultimately he has no idea what value is supposed to go there UNLESS its a unique one.

BTW... to determine if it's a unique value, all he'd have to do is look in his parts bin right now to determine if there are 12 of any value remaining...

Correct. As my old friend John P would say, "You are making this way too hard."
