Hi,
Yeah I don't think it's anything critical either, but of course it makes you wonder why they insisted on separating them in the component list.
Anyway, looks like it's mostly Nichicon caps for me in this order though ;)
Thanks for your reply.
Regards,
Peter

Subject: Re: [PolySix] Electrolytics marked MS?
Peter,
(M)atsu(S)hita were and still are active in the capacitor manufacture arena,
so I am wondering if this is what it means. I shouldn¹t worry too much about
it. Any suitably spec¹ed aluminium electrolytic should do the trick. I have
stocks of 2u2/63v radials which I use for both clones and repairs and they
are just fine. Funnily enough Matsushita call all their product lines by the
OPanasonic¹ brand name, even components, these days. I wonder if it is
because the new name doesn¹t include an English swear word!
Cheers,
Andy
