I read this thread,

And after a complete cap kit from Bob my colors are still washed.
What is a good substitute for the 3 in one can cap, Assuming I need replace it next?
I know you can get three separate caps, but how would you wire them in as a substitute?
Also I know you can go up in volts, but how far can you vary uf and still be good if you can't find the exact match? Better higher like volts or lower?
Thanks!

I hope you figure this out, I've got a 501 that's wavy and I never could get it right. It could be something from the a/c plug all the way through the game pcb, the power brick, the line filter or the monitor... I've tried replacing all kinds of stuff on mine and never got the ripple out.
 
Did you do some kind of replacement to the two can filters?
 
I did, didn't fix it.... If you want to do it yourself, it's not that hard.

Basically the can has 3 or 4 caps in it. The 'ground' is the same on all of them, which is basically it's grounded to the frame. On the bottom of the cap is 3 or 4 prongs, each one will have a symbol by it. A square; a triangle, a half circle, etc. On the side of the cap, there's a legend that tells you what each one is. So for instance, if you have a Square, and a red wire's running to the prong marked as a square, and on the side of the cap it says the square is a 200ohm 200volt cap, then if you attach a 200ohm 200volt cap with the ground grounded to the frame, and the red wire to the positive side of the cap, you just replaced that cap that's inside the can.

You can do them one at a time, or however you want to do it. Be careful though that you don't let the wires get messy and ground stuff out underneath the frame, I think I ziptied mine into place so they wouldn't move and touch other things.
 
Any other monitor Guru's. Have any suggestions for curing waves?
