thanks for the link eric,still kinda confused with these dogbone type of caps..the green bands on each side throws me off,dont know if i am reading correctly from either direction..i can swap it with something i suspect is close.. and i get color.!
time will tell..sure is hard to work on this chassis outside the cabinet..a few intermitt problems,have been replacing a lot of off value resistors..
thanks again..
