SUBJECT:
Changing 12V radial lead capacitors
at
C24l and C242.
Some capacitors for these locations are not rated
at
an
acceptable
voltage. The incorrect capacitors
are
12 volt radial lead type (see
Figure
1).
An easy way to identify a problem
at
C24l or C242 is to look
at the
screen
with the diagnostic cartridge running COLOR BAR.
The
color is very grainy with faint vertical bars. (COLOR
BARS
look
like
COLOR SQUARES.)
