This sounds like the best answer, use the original! Suppliers were all out of the 39uf but we found some. Some answers were "it's related to screen size", "runs cooler with the 39uf", "runs cooler with the 47uf", "capacitive reactance is so close is shouldn't matter", "the 39uf is a upgrade", (that one is in WinsTips). Thanks guys, using original since we found some. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.

Looking at the serv manual and parts list there appears to be 2 very close but different versions of that power supply. As well as C4108 ther are a couple of other caps that are different and a couple of resistors are different. Also the voltages on the IC and the SCR are different. May be good judgement to use whatever the original was. Al G Al's TV-Electronics Pembroke Ont. Canada support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Jim, > If in doubt, I use the higher value cap.
