[sdiy] OBXa cards uses either 15uf -or- 22uf caps ?!

[Gil W.]

Well, there are 7 of them on each card. Could all be "only" power bypass ? should there be any sonic difference between the two types of boards ?

 and I can see that some voice board have all 15uf
 electrolytic caps, while on others they are all 22uf

 The service manual lists these caps as
 15µF.
 
 Probably Oberheims
 part dealer run out of 15µF caps during production 
 and they just upped the value to the more
 common 22µF to keep going.
 
 It's just the power bypass cap anyway, so
 the exact value does not make 
 much of a
 difference.
 
 Best,
