Hi,

Currently recaping a 83046 compressor that has no low end when engaged, in stock condition with all original components.

I am starting with the tantalum capacitors and would like a double check with you guys on some values, I want to be 100% sure and solder replacements once!

Can you help me identify these two and translate their markings into their modern counterparts please?

+1 for the values

Unless you want to stick with tantalum that have a bad reputation for reliability you might consider substituting low impedance modern aluminum electrolytic caps.

The work is done already! I've decided to stick to the original specs and looks. Tantalums have not fixed the low end issue tho, on to the electrolytics..
I'll swap that B640 for a known to be good one also to check that.
