As seen in picture nine below CC103, CC101 and CC102 have been replaced. This image is worth
studying as it shows how cleanly these replacement capacitors can be installed if care is taken.
Picture Nine: Clean installation of capacitors
We recommend that you start by cutting the leads of the replacement capacitor very short, about 2-
3mm in length. Then apply a small amount of solder to the negative terminal. Once done place the
negative lead of the capacitor onto the mound of solder and re-melt the solder along the lead to sink
into the mount.
After the terminal lead is securely attached then using a set of small pliers bend the positive lead so it
sits directly over the positive contact on the circuit board and solder it into place. Once finished check
the joints for strength.
The strategies for replacing the radial mounting capacitors are somewhat different and discussed next.
Notice the following please:
