Digikey's 3.9uF cap worked great. Last time C1 blew, I just swapped analog boards. This time I repaired the original analog board by replacing C1 with the Digikey cap, swapped th…

I just want to point out in answer to the question in my original post, one should not attempt to use a normal 4uF electrolytic (polarized) cap in place of C1. C1 is a bipolar cap…

If I were set in changing C1 and only C1, it would not matter to me if the price was even $6 total, if that including shipping to me in Japan.

Sell the extras (for a reasonable price, of course), and you will make back your shipping and could be a benefit some users here (some of whom live outside the United States). But…
