The "WG combo kit" had several discrepancies from my chassis including caps listed where I didn't have them populated on my chassis, and caps on the chassis that weren't listed in the kit.
This didn't really suprise me, since there were probably several revisions, but one of the caps that isn't listed in the cap kit is a 10uf 50v Bi-Polar cap (there's adhesive covering the location label). One of the caps that came with the kit but wasn't populated on my chassis is the same value, but you can see the huge size difference.
Now I realize that newer caps are almost always smaller than older ones, but this difference seems a bit too much. Should I replace the cap with the smaller one, or leave the large one in there?
My neckboard has C774 populated with a 22uf 25V, which isn't on the cap kit list, but I found one locally. The other cap that's on my chassis but not on the cap list is C734 which is a 330uf 63V that I can't find locally. I'm still not good enough with schematics to figure out what it does and if it would be OK to leave the old one in.
