Minimoog PSU caps question ...
2009-10-30 by Quazimodo
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
