Thread Name: Hum in an amplifier
Subject: RE: Ho Hum
kat, Radio Shack have some small electrolytics that are 2200 microfarad and 35 volt. Would they do? They look way too small, but times have changed since this amp was built.

Hey Spaw, talking of hydraulic leaks did you ever get to work on the power steering of a '75 Volvo 242? Where the stupid effing designer made the o-rings the same size as the rack. To reassemble it you needed a special tool to shroud the rack so that it didn't tear up your newly installed o-rings. I didn't have such a tool so I took the car along to the Volvo Mechanic to get the job done properly. He didn't have the tool either so he wrapped the rack with electrical tape. Of course that didn't work, and the damned thing just kept leaking.

Give me American auto engineering any day.
