Hi,

I just noticed some differences betwen the aluminium capacitors described on the service manual (parts list) and what i see in my EIII.

For exemple,

On Output Board (voice cards), there are 16 aluminium caps. In the service manual it's written 3,3uf 50v. In my EIII it's 3,3uf 63v.
On Analog Jack Board, there are 2 aluminium caps. 47uf 16v in the service manual. 47uf 25v on the card.

So, the question is, is it better to follow the service manual, or should i ignore it and take the same kind of caps that are in my EIII ?

They only difference are how much voltage the will
handle.
The schematic value is fine but higher are absolutely no  problem either.

Are you recapping the whole machine?

Ok thank you !

Not the whole machine.
But after 20 years, i think it's time to replace some of them.
I will start with the electrolytic caps and if necessary the tatalum caps.
