Hi I have just joined after lurking a lot because I haven't found an answer that was specific enough for me.
I have a Soviet synthesizer (TOM 1501) and it has some odd defects such as clicking noises and sounds disappearing. I want to replace the capacitors in the power supply (only 8) to see if it solves the problem. It consists of three different types of electrolytic capacitors and I can easily find the two (2200uF/25V and 4700uF/16V), but I am having trouble finding one with 70uF/16V.
So I know that you can increase the voltage without it being a problem, but can you increase the capacitance? If yes, by how much?
It would be ideal for it to be axial but as long as it is big enough it can work.
The capacitors that are in the power supply right now are the infamous K50 from the Soviet Union, which are notoriously bad.
Thanks a lot
