I have an old Fender twin reverb here that died last night.
I opened up the chassis and discovered that two of the 5 big caps under that metal covered exploded and were leaky.
Caps are Mallory 500VDC 20MFD.
2 of them were already replacedabout 10 years ago by someone with 47mf/350V types.(they seem to be fine )
My question is : were they originally all 5 the same Mallory 20MFD types?
and can I also replace the broken ones with 350VDC types.Or do I really need to use 500V ones?
