Hey everyone, this may be my first post here. I hope this is in the right sub forum.
I'm working on restoring my JH636 console. Cleaning, recapping, etc.
I've recapped all the IO cards, VCA fader packs, master section, and now I'm moving on to the power supplies.
I'm starting with the light meter supply (mine uses plasma meters and has a seperate PSU for them.)
It has 6 big 40v 20,000uf capacitors. I understand that in most cases, you can use higher voltage capacitors, but I just wanted to make sure in this case that it would be ok, being that the light meters are finicky and the caps are expensive. I can't find any 40v 20,000uf caps, but I can find 50v caps that are the correct size and capacitance. Just wanted to ask and see if these would be ok to use.
Also, just came to the realization that it's going to cost around $1000 or so just to replace the big filter caps in all the power supplies
Any advice would be appreciated.
