Hey all

So I made it to Page 35 of the manual (wiring the power supply board) to the section where two 10μF tantalum capacitors are required.  These were not included with my kit.  However, I did receive two other tantalum capacitors marked 226M TDK.  They measure around 22nF, which would be .02μF.  Scanning the manual, it does not appear that these are used anywhere else in the process.

I know there are some updated replacement parts and what not.  Is that the case here?  Will these .02μF capacitors work in place of the 10μF or did I just receive incorrect parts?

Also, these are non-polarized capacitors, while the missing tantalum capacitors have a polarity.

Thanks for the help!

Here's a photo for reference.  I'm not even sure that these are tantalum capacitors, but they're the only thing that I can't find a match for on the parts check list, and the 10μF tantalum capacitors are the only things that I'm missing.

You will definitely want to contact replacementparts(at)bottlehead(dot)com to get the proper caps sent to you.  Those are not the correct parts.

Yes, that is a mispacked part. Apologies for the mix up. Do contact us at [email protected] and we will get the proper 10uF caps on the way to you.
