Could an esr or a scope check out the big blue?
Hey Ken, I'm missing something here. I thought any cap that wasn't shorted would test as open on an ohmmeter?Most of the time when I've had a bad "big blue", it has gone open circuit. That can be found with an ohm meter.
it's a filter cap. Big Blue is just some thing Bob Roberts marketed it as, which is a little strange given the replacements aren't even blue, they're black.You win Necromancer thread of the day ! Congrats ! 12 years. I did one 10 years ago 2 days ago. You beat me with this one.
That said, I was confused.. so I'm looking for a "Big Blue" (Street Fighter) cab. I was like... how the f do you test a cab ? Now I guess I just learned "Big Blue" can also be a huge ass cap ? Dang man, we gotta get more unique for these nicknames.. sh*ts confusing.
That is awfully big and blue though !
So now-a-days they are "big blacks" ? lol (BTW-Don't google that... unless you like porn.)it's a filter cap. Big Blue is just some thing Bob Roberts marketed it as, which is a little strange given the replacements aren't even blue, they're black.
Randy Fromm made an instructional video from probably about 1982 about linear power supplies and it was truly enlightening.
