It shouldn't matter.  The only criteria to matter is the working voltage.
Provided the working voltage is higher than the one installed you will be
OK.

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] Minimoog PSU caps question ...

 

  

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question about the PSU caps on my two Mini's.

I decided to recap the PSU's and looking at the schematics I bought two sets
of: 2X 1000ufd/63v and a 470ufd/63v

I assumed that both PSU's would be the same... and I changed the caps in my
later Mini successfully.

Today I decided to do the earlier Mini - and when I took the back off I
noticed the rectifier board looked different, with only TWO caps.

Also their values were 470ufd. As I already had the 2X 1000ufd (and one
470ufd) I decided to replace the 470ufd with the 1000ufd capacitors.

My question is, is this too high a value?
Will I regret doing this later on, can it damage anything long-term?

Many thanks for any advice.

Cheers,
Tom
