Tone Cap I.D.

[fleabag]

Could a lectronix guru ID this tone cap, pretty please?

Basically,  its not bleeding enough treble off, and i was thinking of  replacing it.  Which means,  could i have a recommendation of which value cap to use ?

The pot is an A500k

 

TY !!

A little extra reading seems to indicate that 473 just means  yer bog standard 0.47uf ?

So, i'm guessing, but i may try a  0.83uf or  0.10uf

K = 10% tolerance.

473 = 47000pF = 47nF = 0.047uF

Try a 0.1uF = 104

I’m no expert but I’ve just fitted a kiogon loom and I asked John for more bass and less treble and he fitted a, 0.1 uF cap , which sounds great, I still get treble but it’s not as bright, hope this helps FB ☝️

Thanks chaps, yes maybe try  an  .083 as well as an 0.1

Yeah definitely worth a try

Will do, but where the hell do you buy one cap  ?  ( or 2 in my case  )

There’s a few on google but I’m not really sure which is right, John did my one 🙂

Cheat 

I'll try CPC Farnell - they have millions of bits of electronics, including a monstrous amount of caps

I forgot about Rapid, but have now got what i want from CPC.  I had to order 5 of the 01.uf caps , because they were only 5p each 

Strangely,   they had no  0.083uf caps, so ordered a 0.068uf, and that on its own was £1.07p ...  weird price difference
