How to replace capacitors in communication power supply
It''s helpful in this area to remove all the capacitors before trying to solder in new ones. The position marked C67 is for a capacitor which was not originally present on this board. Instead, it was moved to the power supply as a filter. Since it does no harm to install the capacitor from my kit here, I''ll be doing so.

Coupling and Decoupling | Applications | Capacitor Guide
Because of this, decoupling capacitors are also called bypass capacitors, since they bypass the power source when needed. They can be regarded as small uninterruptible power supplies dedicated to a single circuit board, or even a single component on a board. It is not uncommon to have a single capacitor for each integrated circuit used.

HVAC Start and Run Capacitor Explained and Replacement – …
A Start or Run Capacitor can be combined into one capacitor called a Dual Capacitor with three leads but can be split between two separate capacitors. The Start Capacitor gives a fan motor the torque it needs to start spinning then stops, while the Run capacitor stays on, giving the motor extra torque when needed.
How do you know if an amp needs new capacitors?
Generally its only electrolytic capacitors that need replacing, the most critical being the ones serving as filters in the power supply. Occasionally resistors that are stressed (like ones near the power tubes) can fail, and in some designs its a good idea to replace some of these with higher tolerance ones before they fail.
Capacitive Power Supply: Circuit Design and …
The most simple, space saving and low cost method is the use of a Voltage Dropping Capacitor in series with the phase line. Selection of the dropping capacitor and the circuit design requires some technical …

What Is Capacitor Aging in PSUs, and Should You Worry?
The Negative Effects of Aged Capacitors Aged capacitors show two main symptoms. First, their capacitance drops over time. Eventually, it can fall outside of the minimum specifications for that capacitor. This makes the power supplied through the capacitor unstable.

The Heathkit HW-101
The power transformer is one part in a power supply that is not easy to replace. If the transformer is defective, then there is not much point in restoring the power supply, so testing the transformer was the first order of business. The worst thing one can do is to plug in the power supply and turn it on, hoping for the best.
Rap on Replacing Electrolytic Capacitors
This method uses a large series resistor and a high-voltage power supply to reform capacitors that are NOS (new-old stock) or capacitors removed from the equipment''s chassis. Voltage-Limited Method 1: The voltage-limited methods use a handy device called the variable autotransformer (a.k.a. Variac, General Radio''s brand name).

Replacing Capacitors in Old Radios and TVs
For example, when replacing a 10-mfd electrolytic capacitor in the radio''s power supply, it is OK to use a 20-mfd or 22-mfd replacement. Likewise, you could replace a 20 with a 33. The higher capacitance may do a marginally better job of removing 60-cycle AC line "hum" from the audio output of the radio.
Can I change a capacitor with one with a higher capacitance?
Electrolytic capacitors in a power supply are probably being used for smoothing -- they are not precision components. 100 µF is a very common value, and is almost certainly close enough. 68 µF is quite common as well, as are 22 and 47 µF (which sum to 69 µF when used in parallel).
