Pole Position Monitor Matsushita TM202G Cap discrepancy, what do I do?
I'm recapping my Matsushita TM202G monitor (pole position cab), I pulled one of the caps (C559) and it was rated at 10uf 250v. The Bob Roberts kit has a 4.7uf 250v listed as what should go in for a cap at that location. Knowing there's a possiblity Bob sent the wrong item, I check the manual for the monitor, and the parts list shows a 4.7uf 250v too for that location. So now I'm confused as I know you can go higher with voltages, but I'm pretty sure you can't do the same with Ferad rating. I have never seen this monitor fired up but the cap looked identical to all the others as far as brand and age. My gut reaction is to replace it with whatever was in there. Any suggestions?
