    Blown amplifier part.

    They look a little small. Do you think you can get a ruler and measure how far one lead is to the other lead & how thick & how long capacitor is. Please. Your capacitor is a 3X. Yes; it's dead for sure.

    That 20k Ohm resistance measurements is erroneous.When making resistance measurements power should never be applied to the circuit.Your DMM itself provides a constant current source across your meter probes when you select the resistance measurement function. Ideally the component should be...

    Blown amplifier part.

    This is real world...Let's see... To the thread starter. If you got a multimeter confirm the status of that capacitor get your multi-meter put on the lowest level lowest setting measure the resistance of your leads by shorting them out, note the lead resistance Then take your leads across that...

    Post number five! But what does it matter, the point is to help. Not who's right and who's wrong. I sit, I stand, I Tower, over all y'all. See how stupid that is... It's about contributing to the person requesting help. Nick Davis holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering...

    Blown amplifier part.

    Closer please red circles. And that is a well-designed board. It's late for me now I got to go... @ HaraldKapp 's assessment is spot on! Darn it.... It's late for me I got to go to bed.

    Not all fuses are made like the classic Glass tube. Sorry about that I'm on speeches to text

    Blown amplifier part.

    Do you think you could take it wider photo of the board there will be safety support circuitry as well that may have been damaged just a precaution it's up to you.

    Blown amplifier part.

    Maybe you can help me.... Take that sucker out and plug it in. I just have to know....please. Because you see if it's designed to fail open that's the same as physically taking it out of circuit. :)

    Blown amplifier part.

    Different venue round 1. Get in the ring!! : X capacitors (blue) are designed to filter (noise) specifically EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) as you can see since the capacitor is in parallel as stated before" it can be removed" your particular capacitor has failed (shorted) from...

    Blown amplifier part.

    You you going to have to measure that capacitor the dimensions. I could be wrong but more likely a metal film capacitor. And it looks like 3x or X3 this is important... The link below is only one of many sources for electronic components shop around you might get a better price... Veni, Vidi...

    Blown amplifier part.

    It tells you right there 0.1 microfarad capacitor non-polarized. That's okay! Now you know what not to do... ;) I'm on break I can't go shopping right now but I'll be back...

    I want to know all of the maths concerning this scissor mechanism!

    I've been to woo woo land & back. I agree with your entire statement. I'm learning partner.. I don't know have the stuff you talking about! I'm just glad you don't go to 32 decimal points. :p Many scientists have been shunned by their esteemed colleagues for pursuing their interests. Finding it...

    Solar water heating system

    Excellent! thank you for the information the data. If you can think of anything else pre-existing that is a part of your solar system it'd be most helpful.I'll be back..

    I want to know all of the maths concerning this scissor mechanism!

    Caution my good friend... You are on the event horizon of The Twilight zone. Woo Woo land... Just follow the data be reasonable you'll be okay.

    Trying to identify connector

    Count the number of pins like the very first one,far left it's called a 2-pin molex connector as American as apple pie. Now apologize to the Chinese people. Without cheapo customers like us we wouldn't have all these wonderful crazy electronics. you're going to have to purchase a pin crimper...

    Rewiring toroidal transformer

    So much for safety first! Careful to watch the windings the number of turns the phase windings in this case you will not get away changing from 50 to 60 HZ all this should be accounted for. it is not good engineering practice. 40 years ago Probably just enamel coated. That cannot be ruled out...
