Item Category: Vintage Electronics

Up for sale here is this set of 2 brand new Nippon Chemi-Con 18000 uf 80v capacitors. These are drop-in replacements for the Hafler DH-200 and Hafler DH-220, but they will work in some other gear as well. They fit the old clamps perfectly! These are the same capacitors I use when I am rebuilding vintage gear. These measure 51mm (2″) in diameter and 80mm (3.15″) tall, and use screw terminals. The screws are included. These are a nice upgrade for the original 10000 uf caps, and will work great in their place. You can upgrade the original diodes but it’s not usually necessary. These are authentic Made in USA capacitors. Please note that the screws on these are sometimes thicker than the screws on the old main caps, so you may need to enlarge the terminals on the receiver in order to accommodate this. You can drill out the old ring terminals and center mounting piece with a 5mm drill bit if you want, or just replace the old ring terminals, or cut the ring terminals open to make them into spade terminals. Please see my pictures for details. The current batch of capacitors I am selling has 38C31L codes on them, and the boxes are dated 2335, so these were made the 35th week of 2023. A note about installation: Main filter capacitors are usually used to provide the positive and negative rails to the amplifier section, so one of them will appear to be wired backwards (with positive to chassis ground). This is normal. Before you replace your capacitors, take some clear pictures of the wiring so you will know how to connect the new ones. If your equipment starts blowing fuses after replacing the main filter capacitors, you probably wired one backwards. US shipping and handling is $10, and international is $28. If you have any questions, please ask. Looking for more parts?
